Preface

This abstract book includes all the abstracts of the papers presented
at the 5th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts, 2-
5 June 2014, organized by the Athens Institute for Education and
Research. In total there were 57 papers and 58 presenters, coming from
14 different countries (Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Indonesia,
Kuwait, Malaysia, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland,
Turkey, UK and USA). The conference was organized into 14 sessions
that included areas such as Music, Art History, Theatre, Arts Education,
Design, Photography, The Arts and Health e.t.c. As it is the publication
policy of the Institute, the papers presented in this conference will be
considered for publication in one of the books of ATINER.
The Institute was established in 1995 as an independent academic
organization with the mission to become a forum where academics and
researchers from all over the world could meet in Athens and exchange
ideas on their research and consider the future developments of their
fields of study. Our mission is to make ATHENS a place where
academics and researchers from all over the world meet to discuss the
developments of their discipline and present their work. To serve this
purpose, conferences are organized along the lines of well established
and well defined scientific disciplines. In addition, interdisciplinary
conferences are also organized because they serve the mission
statement of the Institute. Since 1995, ATINER has organized more than
150 international conferences and has published over 100 books.
Academically, the Institute is organized into four research divisions and
nineteen research units. Each research unit organizes at least one
annual conference and undertakes various small and large research
projects.
I would like to thank all the participants, the members of the
organizing and academic committee and most importantly the
administration staff of ATINER for putting this conference together.

Gregory T. Papanikos
President
