The National Gallery of Victoria’s (NGV) Kids Summer Festival, hosted from Saturday, January 14 to Sunday, January 22 was packed with a schedule of free events.
It also gave kids the opportunity to learn about Greece with Athenian-born artist Alkisti Pitsaki’s Myths and Legends Storytime and the Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture’s Greek dance performances and workshops.
Mr Manasis said he felt privileged to be part of the Kids Summer Festival.
“The opportunity to stand in the Great Hall of the NGV is humbling and although it was a very straight-forward (and highly successful) performance and workshop, which our students are well experienced and accustomed to, the magnitude and privilege is still setting in,” he said.
In an earlier interview with The Greek Herald, Ms Pitsaki said: “I would love it if I can in any way inspire kids to discover myths and legends.”
These two participations were centred around the 2022 NGV Architecture Commission: Temple of Boom, an installation which reimagines the Acropolis.
