The I.F. Παρασκήνιο, gives preschool children the opportunity to get in touch with theater, theatrical play, dance, dreams, the moon...

Through the specially designed program for children of toddler age, we learn to unleash our imagination, to cooperate, to play, to create magical and otherworldly worlds.

In this way, children acquire critical thinking, cultivate their consciousness and empathy, face their fears, know their feelings, realizing their dreams.

At the same time, the children come into first contact with the basic theories of the theater, the stage, the puppet theater, the shadow theater, scenography, kinesiology, orthophony. All this creating.

The journey begins, and we fellow travelers on a wonderfully fantastic magical unique journey.

Theater for all of us is not just a professional destination but a way of life. The theater has a lot to offer children of all ages, on a practical level (clarity of speech, acting techniques, flexibility and kinesiology knowledge) but also on a mental level (freedom of expression, cultivation of critical thinking, cooperation, teamwork, self-confidence).

The teaching of theater to students starts from the age of 5 to 18. The lessons are held in small classes and aim to teach the theater globally. For this reason, the students are taught acting, improvisation, kinesiology, orthophony by specialized teachers. The courses are specially designed to address each age in a different way and requirements.

The various activities outside the performances (seminars by actors, participation in voluntary actions, scenography - costume design seminars, film shootings, film evenings) give students the opportunity to gain greater experience and artistic education.

The acting profession is one of the most demanding professions due to its nature. An actor must speak to the soul, compose morals. With this in mind, we try to cultivate all that an actor needs to have before even pursuing the profession: observation, love for the theater, love for people, love for the arts, ethics.

In a highly competitive field, we are called upon to offer the necessary supplies for those children who wish to work professionally in the field. Our goal is to prepare prospective actors as responsibly as possible, for their admission to drama schools.

With long lessons, demanding rehearsals, exposure to the public, but also through kinesiology, orthophony, acting in individual and group lessons, the candidates are invited to train to the maximum.

It is no coincidence that many of our students have been successfully admitted to the drama schools of the National Theatre, the Karolos Koon Art Theatre, Georgios Theodosiadis, the Satirical Theater (Vladimirou Kavkaridis) but also to universities in England and America.

For the first time, the afternoon occupation and study of school lessons acquires substance and creativity. The I.F. Proskenio, with its experienced staff, provides evening employment for primary school children according to Scandinavian standards. Children study their lessons in a creative way.

The increased demands of our time and the countless stimuli to which they are exposed every day, in contrast to our flawed education system that is blind to the needs of students and teachers for modernization, causes discomfort and confusion for students and parents. Children are asked to cope with an increasingly outdated system that does not offer them the essence and joy of education.

The I.F. Foreground, he wants to show children the other side of the coin, the joy of learning. The educator is called upon to approach and arouse the interest of the children with various methods, alternatives many times.

With the method of Theater in Education, the presentation of the units in the form of a game, the use of educational programs through technology, children will immediately understand even the most difficult unit cycles.

Our specially designed spaces, and the lack of desks, provide children with comfort, safety and a warmth that will help them immediately integrate into our space and way of learning.

Beyond the study of the lessons, the children will have the opportunity to expand their educational horizons, and their artistic concerns with the activities provided by the I.F. Foreground. In particular, the children will come into contact with theatrical play, crafts, puppetry, dance, music, writing, singing, cooking, etc.
