SUMMER SOLSTICE WORKSHOP SERIES
presents
“Myths and Archetypes in the Contemporary World. A Laboratory for Contemporary Performance Practice”
June 22-27
with Avra Sidiropoulou
Mythical figures from all cultures have been repeatedly taken on and expanded across various media and forms, varying from stage to film to video clips and comics. This week-long workshop will concentrate on strategies of adaptation and dramatization in the process of creating a theatre piece based on Greek mythology. Collaborating in groups, participants will be encouraged to craft their own interpretations of select myths, based on what feels particularly pertinent to the 21st century spectator’s experience.
Avra Sidiropoulou is Professor of Theatre and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Open University of Cyprus and professional director and founder of Athens-based Persona Theatre Company.
