Course 1: THE HISTORY AND THEORY OF ANCIENT GREEK
DRAMA
Meetings: M-F, 10 am-1pm
Instructors: See below.
Description and Objectives of the Course:
This is a lecture-discussion class that meets for 15 sessions at 3 hours each. At the end of the course, the student should have become familiar with the historical needs and the socio-political conditions that shaped the emergence and formation of ancient Greek drama, especially the tragedies, and the concrete functions it served during its apex in the 4th century B.C. Of equal importance, we examine the factors that continue to make ancient Greek drama, especially the tragedy, a popular theatrical fare all over the world. Specifically, by watching videos of diverse contemporary performances of ancient Greek drama from all over the world, we inspect the specific social and political purposes and positions foregrounded in these interpretations.

Course 2: THE AESTHETICS, THEORY AND PERFORMANCE OF
ANCIENT GREEK THEATRE: A WORKSHOP FOR
PRACTITIONERS
Meetings: M-F, 4 - 8 pm
Instructors: Nicos Shiafkalis
Description and Objectives of the Course:
This studio/laboratory class engages the theatre practitioner in both the theoretical and practical concerns involved when one is really to stage a piece of ancient Greek drama. For the acting/performance specialist in his or her home institution, one major focus of this class is the students’ work and application of technique on their monologue and scene work.
However, in the current state of ancient Greek dramatic productions, both practitioners and theoreticians – e.g.: dramaturges – have been increasingly challenged to provide actors, directors and designers with non-traditional dramaturgical inputs: that is, expert advice beyond the conventional historical and literary notes on the play or playwright. Instead, contemporary productions have significantly required information from dramaturges and directorial assistants that have practical uses for actual staging and performance. Consequently, classroom scenework will be complemented by the other focus in this course: the energetic deliberations concerning style, directorial, acting, design, and other production and performance choices. To be critiqued are also the performances in the International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama. (See poster.)
To further stimulate both of the above foci, the class will have privileged access to videotapes of landmark performances of ancient Greek drama to date.
NOTE: Each student is required to prepare a monologue of 2 to 3 minutes from an ancient Greek drama, in English, and fully memorized by the first day of class.
