Art Groups-Theatre Group

University of Thessaly’s official theatre group, the ‘Third Floor’ gives students the opportunity to become acquainted with the art of theatre, to work into a team and discover their self-expression skills with the use of theatre games and improvisation. The members of the group familiarize themselves with the art of theatre through exercises, games and techniques and are encouraged to explore their voice, speech and movement as means of expression and tools in this creative experience.
