LSA’s History |20 years LSA

Article at "to vima” newspaper: http://www.mariachaniotaki.gr/events.asp?lang=gr&evid=111
LSA was founded in 2000 in Athens by Maria Chaniotaki.
Distinguished practitioners from theater, dance, art and film have visited LSA, as Lectures for workshops and courses since 2000.
Many projects were based on the artistic and creative aim of LSA's Programs  such as," Inverted thread " Perfromance Installation at BIOS Theatre (2008) and " Inverted Thread - the fairy tale" at Askisis Theatre (2009). Both Performances were based more on the impact of the narrative image, space, sight, sound smell experience and time and less in speech and dialogues.
LSA Graduate Exhibitions and individual student Exhibitions of LSA's Visual Art and Performance design Course took place at Monohoro Art Gallery, Giagianos Gallery, Embros Theatre, Art Theatre Karolos Koun - Frynichou, Theatre of Neos Kosmos etc.
LSA participated with the Greek mission  - student section of the Hellenic Centre ITT at International Exhibition  "Prague Quadrennial of Performance Desing and Space"  PQ2015 with " Birds" by Aristophanes and with the individual art projects from LSA's students of  Visual Art and Performance Design Course. LSA also participated with the same project at [OUT]TOP/AS Exhibition at the Benaki Museum – Peiraios  str  in Athens (2016).
More than 300 graduates LSA students and the succesful perspective the most of them as visual artists and designers and also the acceptance the most of them in Postgraduate Programs in Scenography in Universities of abroad, encourages us to continue, with responsibility, the educational and creative directions, always added the new perspectives, internationally, in Art and Scenography.
