ROSALIA CHLADEK: Last Wednesday (September 11), there was an extremely interesting cultural event at the Koula Pratsika School. The world-famous dancer and choreographer Rosalia Chladek, who heads the Vienna state dance academy, was in Greece to give dance lessons at the Pratsika School for leading dancers in Athens. Chladek wanted to present her dance method and show there is a dance form based on natural laws that govern the motions of the human body from within as well as from the surrounding environment. Knowledge of these laws allows the human body to move as a whole and to express the inner world with absolute precision. At the end of the last lesson, Chladek performed a brief impromptu presentation, without music or costumes, that was tangible proof of the correctness of her system. MENANDER: Paris – For the first time an entire work by the Greek comic poet Menander, who lived from 340 to 290 BC has been discovered. The discovery, important because only excerpts of his work had previously been found, was announced by Professor Victor Martin of Geneva University who found the manuscript in the Geneva library of a collector of rare books, who recently had been buying papyri.
