Ancient Drama

About

Epidaurus Lyceum is an international summer school on ancient drama aiming at the participation of students and graduates from Theatre Academies, Drama Schools and Performing Arts' Universities from around the world. It is a collaboration project of the Athens & Epidaurus Festival and the Theatre Studies Department of the University of the Peloponnese.

Its main focus lies on research on ancient theatre (tragedy, comedy, satyr play) on a practical / experiential level, combining a wide range of approaches, from the most traditional to the most experimental aesthetic tendencies, art school principles, methods and interpretations.

More specifically, Epidaurus Lyceum will offer workshops, master classes, educational visits and other activities that will take place at various venues around the Epidaurus area, such as ancient theatres, archaeological sites, open air spaces and school facilities, while world-known professors and artists will guarantee a high level of academic credibility.

Courses will focus on applied research by communicating acting techniques, rather than on “informing” students of the long list of directorial approaches to ancient drama. To that end, the curriculum consists of courses providing experiential learning and carving a space for research on specific expressive techniques and stage presence tools.

The summer school is divided in two cycles:
Cycle A: July 2 -16 2018
Cycle B: July 18 - August 1 2018

Target group

Students of Theatre Academies, Drama Schools, Performing Arts Universities who have taken up courses on acting & theatre practice, at an undergraduate or postgraduate level.

Young actors from around the world.
