This section presents exhibitions organised or co-organised by the Department of Theatre Studies, highlighting important milestones in its research activity and artistic presence.
The exhibition presented representative examples of the scenographic and costume design work of 49 Greek artists on ancient drama, shedding light on an important yet often overlooked chapter in the history of modern Greek theatre.
Through photographs, models, costumes, masks and stage elements, it highlighted the traditions, artistic concerns and contribution of Greek scenographers and costume designers to the staging of ancient drama throughout the twentieth century.
Museums, foundations, theatres and private collections contributed material to the exhibition, while part of the exhibition content and accompanying catalogue resulted from original research conducted by students of the Department of Theatre Studies.
The exhibition explored the relationship between dance and theatre through the documentation of Greek dance and dance-theatre performances of the twentieth century, presenting the results of an extensive and original research project conducted by the Department of Theatre Studies.
It also highlighted the contribution of Greek choreographers to the revival of ancient drama and demonstrated the potential for creative collaboration between the University and public cultural institutions.
The research involved 80 undergraduate and postgraduate students working under the supervision of Professor Eleni Fessa-Emmanouil, documenting the activities and work of Greek choreographers.
