Training & Advocacy

Heterotopia is an Athens-based creative research studio. We are working to raise the profile of theatre, performance, and hybrid creative arts practice across the Greek heritage sector by promoting their value as research, interpretation, and engagement tools for museums, archives, historic environments, and sites of memory.

Heterotopia supports knowledge sharing and networking across what is now a growing community of practice in Greece. By supporting a range of sector skills development and advocacy actions, we aim to connect people, organisations and initiatives that are involved in heritage research, interpretation, and audience engagement as well as museum theatre, performance, role-play and re-enactment.
