The Laboratory of Scenography, Athens (LSA) has been going on succesfully through the last 20 years; giving a substantial approach to the study of Scenography in contemporary Theatre. The purpose is to study Scenography as a vital, creative part of Performance and not just as an element that frames the theatrical act, wish also will be an autonomous form. The study is referred to the research of the part of scenography in theatre, dance, opera, film, with issues such us: Scenography and Visual Arts, Body and Space, The poetic of space etc. During the year, distinguished practitioners visit the Laboratory with the intended purpose to give the opportunity to the students to have an exchange of views, to share ideas and to generally discuss about theatre, scenography etc. During the study at LSA courses students will be aware of international news for theatre and scenography (videos, information about Prague Quadrennial etc.).

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).
