I would like to share a short story with you...
Part one:
Since I was a child I was dreaming of a small and intimate concert and performance space which, would allow experiments to happen and would invite artists to feel free to express them selves. I myself love going to performances and particularly to concerts. However, each time I keep realizing that the concert halls require artists and audiences to behave in a certain way. Therefore there is a distance created between them. As a musician I came up with several ideas and projects which were not supported by "alternative or experimental spaces" as they were considered as "too classical". In contradiction, they were also not supported by classical music halls as they were considered as "too alternative and experimental". As a result I felt the necessity to create a space in which different things are allowed to happen as long as they have a reason. In this space, artists would have no competition with each other and they would not be obliged to follow certain rules.. The only requirement would be an honest approach to their work. This space should definitely be small and intimate without proper back stage rooms so the artists would not be able to "escape" from the audience before and after the performances! They should be allowed to talk to their audience, share their ideas or even cook for them and drink together their favorite tea smile emoticon
Part two:
A few weeks ago I needed to move to an other apartment...
I then started looking for an affordable one and I stumbled upon an ex working space which was in a quite bad condition and needed a lot of fixing! Despite its low price, it wouldn't be a space I would normally be interested in as my budget is quite low and I couldn't easily pay for many things to be repaired.. However, this space had something which made it look weird (for a living space) and made me want it desperately! Dear readers! If you link the two parts of my story, you will clearly see the point of departure of Panos~Pianos studio! I promise to put all my effort and good energy and make it into a warm, inspiring and intimate space for me and all of you! Thanks for reading my little story and see you in one of the events at Panos~Pianos studio :-)
