DESCRIPTION:Greek Theatre\, Landscape and Environment\n28th of February 2014 4pm\nAnatomy Museum\, King’s College London \nThe performance spaces of fifth-century Athenian drama were in many respects radically different from anything we encounter in the modern era. Theatres were not so much buildings as landscape architecture. They were embedded in the natural landscape and offered their audiences panoramic views of the surrounding environment. This environment has profoundly informed the plays’ imagery\, dramaturgy and theoretical reflections. In many plays\, the imagery of natural spaces (mountainscapes\, the sea\, agricultural fields)\, which evoked what would have lain immediately in view of the audience\, is central to many plays’ reflection on the natural and the divine order. In other plays\, there is intense focus on the beaten surface of the orchestra as evocative of the earth and its generative (and deadly) powers. Many plays integrate the presence and movement of the sun\, the winds and other elements of the sky\, trees and vegetation\, rocks and hillsides\, whilst exploiting the contrasts between light\, shade and darkness generated during performance time in intensely symbolic ways. Beyond the immediate environment\, Greek drama also evokes natural spaces beyond the audience’s horizon. It thus creates an all-encompassing whole which is crucial for its reflection on humanity’s place in the cosmic and natural order. \n \nThis workshop will explore the theory that the landscape – in terms of the audience’s perception not just of the theatre space but also of their apprehension of the natural world – is fundamental to our understanding of Greek drama as spatial medium. It will take a macroscopic and holistic view of theatre space relating it to the ecological surroundings of Greek theatrical performances. It will also look at what the engagement of the theatre with the landscape can tell us about Greek attitudes to the human relationship to the environment. \nTalks by pioneering scholars in the field of theatre space will be followed by a roundtable discussion open to the audience. The event will take place in the state of the art KCL Anatomy Museum\, whose facilities will be used to make a visual statement of the relationship between theatre space\, landscape and environment. \nProgramme\n4.00-4.30 Arrival and coffee/tea. Welcome. \n4.30-5.15 Rush Rehm (Stanford): Tragic ecology: space and limit in Greek tragedy. \n5.15-6.00 David Wiles (Exeter): Space and place: Greek theatre and the earth. \n6.00-6.30 Break for drinks. \n6.30-7.00 Peter Meineck (New York): Landscape and ecstasy: The neuroscience of the ancient Athenian theatre. \n7.00-7.30 Emmanuela Bakola (KCL): The spaces that make the earth: a holistic spatial approach to Aeschylus’ Persians. \n7.30-8.30 Discussion (Discussants: Fiona Macintosh (Oxford)\, Richard Seaford (Exeter)\, Oliver Taplin (Oxford)\, Chris Carey (UCL)\, Nick Lowe (RHUL)) \n  \nInformation and Bookings\nThe event is sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust\, the KCL Public Engagement Department and the Benjamin Jowett Trust Fund. \nEntry is free of charge. Places are restricted to 60\, and prior booking is necessary to allow entry. Please register by e-mailing emmanuela.bakola@kcl.ac.uk.  \nMembers of the public with an interest in Greek theatre are warmly encouraged to attend.

SUMMARY:‘Crocodiles & Kings: Hellenistic Egypt Recycled’\, The King’s School\, Canterbury
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 10th February\, 7-8pm\, Dr Dorothy J. Thompson will deliver the following talk at The King’s School\, Canterbury: \n‘Crocodiles & Kings: Hellenistic Egypt Recycled’\nWhen Greeks and Romans visited Egypt as tourists what did they find there? The evidence of papyri\, preserved in the dry desert sands\, can introduce us to life in both the cities and the countryside of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. In Alexandria royal patronage was responsible for the preservation of earlier Greek literature while in the countryside agriculture continued as earlier\, barely affected by the new settlers who had arrived following the conquest of Alexander in 332 BC. \nDorothy Thompson is a Fellow of the British Academy and Honorary President of the International Society of Papyrologists. During her career\, she has won numerous awards and fellowships\, including a Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust. At Cambridge\, she held the post of Newton Trust Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics and was Director of Studies in Classics and Senior Tutor at Girton College. Her book on Memphis under the Ptolemies (ed.2\, 2012) won the James H. Breasted Prize of the American Historical Association in 1989. “It is no exaggeration to say that her work has had a profound impact upon the study of Greco-Roman Egypt” (The Center for the Tebtunis Papyri\, University of Berkeley). Since retiring in 2006\, the demand for Dr Thompson’s expertise in her field has taken her to deliver courses and lectures in Egypt and at Yale University. \nThe talk will take place in The Gateway Chamber\, St Augustine’s\, Monastery Street\, The King’s School\, Canterbury\, CT1 1NN. Refreshments will be available and there is no charge for this event. \nPlease email Harmony Johnson (hj@kings-school.co.uk) by Monday 3rd February if you would like to attend the talk.

SUMMARY:Tradition and Reinvention in Greek Women's Costume
DESCRIPTION:Patterns of Magnificence: Tradition and Reinvention in Greek Women’s Costume\nThe Hellenic Centre & The Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation \n \nAbundant in local variety\, rich in embroidered and woven decoration and monumental in its completed ensemble\, Greek traditional women’s dress has few equals in other countries. \nThe exhibition\, “Patterns of Magnificence: Tradition and Reinvention in Greek Women’s Costume”\, which will be hosted by the Hellenic Centre in February 2014\, will bring over forty of the most splendid examples to London for the first time.  They include the richly embroidered costume from Astypalaia in the Dodecanese\, the astonishing assembly of fabrics\, colours and jewellery from Stefanoviki in Thessaly and the superbly brocaded dress from Jannina in Epirus. \nThe exhibition will also illustrate the interplay of native tradition and western aesthetic by displaying the court dress of the first Queen of the independent Greek state\, Amalia of Oldenburg and that of her successor at the end of the nineteenth century\,  Queen Olga\, the Russian-born consort of King George I.

G. Leventis           Foundation Collection of 19th and 20th Greek Painting. She has also         written extensively on Greek artist Nico Ghika\, including the recent book for the Benaki Museum on the restoration of his house and  studio. \n  \nFriday 7 February\, 7.15pm \nDressed to Kill or Dressed to Rule?  \nDr Philip Mansel discusses the politics of dress\, with special reference to Greece in the 19th century.  Dress could be a means of communicating a political message\, as well as of encouraging local industries. In the 19th century most monarchs\, wore military or naval uniform\, and expected their officials to do the same. Some monarchs\, however\, particularly in new or vulnerable states\, preferred to wear ‘national dress’ in order to try to assert national identity. \n  \nDr Philip Mansel is a historian of France and the Ottoman Empire. His books include a study of court dress from Louis XIV to Elizabeth II\, Dressed to Rule (2005)\, and histories of Constantinople (Constantinople\, City of the World’s Desire\, 1995) and of Smyrna\, Alexandria and Beirut (Levant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean\, 2010). He is a founding trustee of the Levantine Heritage Foundation and editor of The Court Historian\, journal of the Society for Court Studies. In 2012 he received the London Library Life in Literature award. \n  \nWednesday 12 February\, 7.15pm \nWhat Lord Byron Saw in Greece (1809-1811) \nProf Roderick Beaton\, follows the travels of the young Lord Byron through Greece and western Asia Minor and shows how the strangeness and the newness of all that he saw affected him as a poet and helped him to write one of the most famous bestsellers in the English language\, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage\, whose first two cantos were published in March 1812. \nRoderick Beaton is Koraes Professor of Modern Greek and Byzantine History\, Language and Literature at King’s College London and Director of the Centre for Hellenic Studies there. His most recent book is Byron’s War: Romantic Rebellion\, Greek Revolution\, published by Cambridge University Press in 2013. \n  \nTuesday 18 February\, 7.15pm \nTraces and Influences of Greek Local Dress in Contemporary Fashion and Costume Design  \nDr Sofia Pantouvaki presents a selection of designs from the fields of fashion and theatrical costume by Greek\, Cypriot and international couturiers and costume designers. The variety of Greek local dress and its distinctive  features have inspired contemporary creative production in the field of  design both in present-day fashion and in performance costume. Within a new aesthetic\, social and cultural framework\, modern creators interpret elements of Greek popular culture moving on from the ‘folklore’ approach\, and transform the forms and meanings of the past into expressive media for the present. \nSofia Pantouvaki\, Ph.D.\, is a scenographer and Professor of Costume Design at Aalto University\, Finland.
