Aristophanes at Chickenshed

Description

Aristophanes at Chickenshed was an international collaboration between the Bristol Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition (IGRCT), University College London (UCL), the University of Parma, Chickenshed Theatre and Teatro delle Albe. It aimed to explore the impacts performing ancient Greek comedy can have on young people through a methodology combining performance pedagogy and practice-as-research. The first stage was a five-day workshop on Aristophanes’ 'Peace' culminating in two performances of a new version of the play for a public audience. The second stage stage of this project was an interdisciplinary roundtable held between the departments of Theatre and Classics at the University of Bristol on the 11th of November 2024, as part of the Theatre at Bristol Seminars (TaBS), which discussed and reflected on the workshop.
