26 years LSA 2000 -2026
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, Theatre “ Fournos” and at the City of Athens Cultural Centre “Melina”|”Journey Through Old Athens” Hall (City of Athens Culture, Sports and Youth Organization (OPANDA)
