She is an international physical theatre artist, actor-creator, youth worker, learning facilitator.
Her pursuit of what an individual communicates non verbally brought her to Dell’Arte International School in California (USA) where she graduated from the Professional Training Program in Physical Theatre with scholarship. She previously trained in Acting (Greece), and she has also studied Human Resources Management (MSc) and Mediterranean Sciences (BA).
Since she discovered non-formal education as the best way of her learning, she wandered the world to grow as a person learning about Emotional & Cultural Intelligence, Conflict Management & Resilience, Neurodiversity & Mental Health, Healing with the Αrts, Youth Work, Permaculture, as well as an artist learning about Mask Movement, Creative Writing, Film Making among others, where she met wonderful people who have inspired her life.
She teaches community and youth theatre, she facilitates non-formal learning activities, and she performs, masked or unmasked, in shows and films across the world.
When she ‘flies’ outside Creative YouthLand, you will find her clowning around, carving theatre masks, miming invisible walls, acrobatically seeing the world upside down, stretching her body as a real yogini, meditatively breathing deeply, scratching her autoharp, hugging trees and hiking in the mountains and, cooking free of gluten and sugar, but full of love, treats!
Maria appreciates honesty, openness to diversity and generosity while her mission is to inspire generations towards a more holistic lifestyle, in body, spirit and mind!

She is a youth worker, facilitator and tango dancer from Greece. Her aptitude for dance and corporeal communication drove her all the way to a professional tango training which she received from great teachers and dancers in Greece and abroad. The first steps she took in formal higher education though, led her to Political Sciences and Public Administration (Ba) and, a few steps further, to Social Policy (MSc).
Since she came across non-formal education, it has been her preferable way of learning, and through it, she trains herself in international learning opportunities on Mentoring and Volunteering, Project Management, Conflict Resolution, Self Awareness, Personal growth, Emotional and Cultural Intelligence, Resilience and Positive Mental Health, Non-verbal and non-violent communication, Creativity and Spontaneity, Expressivity of the body and Performing arts offered by inspiring human beings.
Her enquiring mind, responsive soul and restless body have taken her to a journey of exploration of the benefits of dance and body movement to emotional expression, self-awareness, positive mental health, and communication.
Creative YouthLand aside, she plays with words and notes writing poems and touching the piano’s and harmonica’s chords, she freezes time with her camera clicks, she does pilates to not crease and she dances to release, she follows the sun and gazes at the stars.
Georgia values kindness, meaningful connections and genuine communications, and her calling is to inspire people towards an empathetic lifestyle.
