The Performance of Roman Comedy

Over the course of four weeks this summer, participants in this Institute will - under the instruction of visiting experts representing three generations of scholarly excellence and a wide variety of research specialties - study ancient evidence for and modern experiments in the performance of these plays; the social, historical, and literary contexts of the plays; and their continuing significance and influence. Participants will put their instruction to use by staging and filming scenes from Roman comedy in multiple styles, as well as developing pedagogical modules to apply and share what they have learned from the Institute.
