The Greek Theatre Program, which is run by the British American Drama Academy, offers an incredible opportunity to work with leading academics and theatre practitioners in the UK and Greece. It is a month-long summer program dedicated to exploring the performance, reception, and modern relevance of ancient drama.

This is a multi-disciplinary course which combines theory and practice throughout. Course participants will spend the first ten days of the course in London before traveling to Greece for eleven days of workshops and visits to explore ancients sites and then returning to the UK for a final week-long residency at the Archive of Performances of Greek & Roman Drama in Oxford. The course dates for 2025 are 7th June - 4th July.

The course provides a number of unique opportunities for participants to:

Visit ancient sites in Athens, Delphi, Mycenae and Epidaurus, studying and performing chosen extracts from tragedy and comedy along the way

Work with leading practitioners from the National Theatre of Great Britain, Complicité, Shakespeare’s Globe and the National Theatre of Greece

Research in the one-of-a-kind collections of the Archive of Performances of Greek & Roman Drama at the University of Oxford

The deadline for applications for this year’s course is 1st February. Full info here: http://www.bada.org.uk/study/greek-theatre/
