The summer of 1994 will inaugurate a unique theater workshop and academy on the Greek island of Hydra. The virtue of the Hydra Workshop of Ancient Greek Theater is its combination of theory and practice, the bringing together of scholar and artist in the study and appreciation of ancient Greek drama. The island, an artists' colony where cars are prohibited, is two hours from the ancient theater festivals which take place every summer in Epidavros and Athens. For the six-week program students will enroll in two comprehensive courses, one in the origins, development, religious and historical background of ancient Greek drama, and one in theater, involving voice, movement, dance, acting, directing, and stage design. The classes will build toward a small production of a single ancient work which involves all students.
