One-Thought-One-Action. One-Thought-One-Action (OTOA)™
Is a Performance Technique & Creative Life Practice, benefiting Creative Thinkers in every field.

One-Thought-One-Action (OTOA)™ developed and founded by Master Teacher, and New York City Theater & Visual Artist, Gia Forakis. OTOA was originally developed by G.Forakis in 2002-03, as a method for achieving her theatrical aesthetic, as a stage director. By 2006-07, Forakis began teaching OTOA as a Performance Technique & Training, as OTOA PTT. By 2012-13, it became clear that OTOA was more than

a performance technique, and that it went beyond the stage, the rehearsal room and the classroom. And Gia brought the principles of OTOA into her own personal and professional practice. It was through this personal daily, quotidian application, that OTOA Creative Lie Practice (CLP)™ began to emerge. In 2015, Gia started developing the curriculum for OTOA CLP. Since then she has led OTOA CLP classes, workshops, intensives, residencies and private sessions in Creative Life Coaching (in person, SKYPE or FaceTime)

OTOA functions from an intuitive premise that leads the participant to liberate their motivations for a more detailed, physically engaged, dynamic and rooted sense of confidence in all their activities and areas of creativity.

OTOA in GREECE: Group 3 on the last day @ the International Festival of Making Theatre: Always a profoundly meaningful experience.

ART is NOT a Luxury. It is a necessity for awakening the heart and spirit of our shared HUMANITY = Love. It is a mission. As Theater Artists it is our Purpose; our Service. This year it was indeed a love fest! And the students devised a production that moved me deeply! It broke open my heart.

As Evdokimos said, it was an experience of DUENDE! My heart was broken open, and out poured LOVE & an Awakening of the TRANSFORMATIONAL power of live theater, of the human spirit, of how ART (which comes from the HEART) offers us a TRANSCENDENTAL experience and it is that MEDICINE that the world needs- NOW more than ever!!

THANK YOU to everyone at In.Fo.Ma.T. 2025!
THANK YOU Evdokimos Tsolakidis!
