LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completing this course, students will be able to distinguish between basic approaches in the directorial interpretation of Greek drama since the 1970s and to discuss them comparatively, taking into account both ideology and aesthetics. Moreover, they will be able to determine how the aesthetic choices in a production serve the ideological interpretation, with detailed references to all elements of a production such as acting style, scenic design or the choices of sound. They will also be able to include in their analysis scenic elements particular to the directing of ancient drama, such as the chorus or the mask.  Moreover, they will be in a position to evaluate important contemporary productions, by placing them in the context of interpretative traditions since the 1970. Students will also be able to appreciate in a comprehensive way the work of artists who have presented extensive and multi-faceted work on Greek drama, including Tony Harrison and A. Serban.
