Schoolyard, by Rinio Dragasaki
A short film about everything that doesn’t end when school lets out…
“Schoolyard was filmed quickly and casually in the hot summer of 2013. It was commissioned by the Greek Film Centre and the 3rd Athens Open Air Film Festival. It is an experiment in what can happen when you read Andreas Embirikos while listening to Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out for the Summer.”

SNF ARTWORKS Dance Fellows present their works at SNF Nostos
August 26 – 29, 2021, 19:30 – 19:50, Agora
ARTWORKS is partnering with SNF Nostos again this summer and spotlighting aspects of modern dance, presenting the works of young choreographers who have participated in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Artist Fellowship Program. From August 26 to 29, dancers and choreographers will bring their movement to the Agora of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), a central space where people meet, interact, and create experiences.
The creators were inspired during the pandemic to choreograph the dances they will present at the Agora. Today more than ever, it is important for us to rethink the body’s experience in space. In their works, they turn a critical eye to how the body functions when it is confined, restricted, and precarious, and dance is seen as a form of resistance, escape, and articulation of possible and impossible ways of acting. The Agora becomes a space of experimentation and freedom. The audience will have the opportunity to observe a diversity of trends in contemporary dance from the rejuvenating perspective of talented young creators.
