SUMMER THEATRE WORKSHOP
The Hydra Workshop of Ancient Greek Theatre In the
summer of 1995 the Hydra Workshop of Ancient Greek Theatre, in collaboration
with Georgia Southwestern College, will offer a unique theatre workshop,
lasting six weeks, on the Greek island of Hydra. The island, an artist's
colony where cars are prohibited, is two hours away from the summer theatre
festivals of Epidavros and Athens.
The program will consist of two parallel comprehensive
courses: one in the origins, development, and historical background
of ancient Greek Drama; and one on practical theatre, involving acting
and method group work along with mask-making and movement. In addition,
Friday seminars on 'Ancient Greek Theatre in Modern Dress' and a series
of lectures from European and American professors will be offered.
The Workshop starts on July 3rd and ends August 12th
1995. The program is fully accredited: complete instruction for 12 credit
hours (or 8 semester hours). The Workshop's language is English.
The climax of the whole program will be a small-scale
production of an ancient play involving all students in either acting
or technical roles.
