SUMMARY:The Aulos and Symposium Re-Imagined
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 10 June 2025 at 8pm\nVenue: Picture Gallery\, Founders Building\,\nRoyal Holloway University of London\, Egham\, Surrey TW20 0EX\n \nFlyer with further information\n \n\nOriginally associated with philosophers and aristocratic citizens of Athens\, the symposium was\, in essence\, a drinking party and considered an important social institution in ancient Greece. It was a relaxed\, convivial gathering of men sharing views and ideas on a range of topics\, accompanied by wine\, music\, dancing\, reciting of poetry and games. The symposium often took place in a purpose-bult room called the andron which was usually large enough to accommodate several couches (klinai)\, on which those participating would recline. Vase paintings of symposia often show them enlivened by musicians and dancers\, commonly depicting a musical instrument called the aulos – played by a man or woman. The aulos consisted of two pipes\, one for each hand\, sounded with double reeds (like the oboe) and was both one of the most important and controversial musical instruments in the Classical world.\n\n \n\nThis event aims to re-imagine the ancient Greek symposium and the role of the aulos within it. Watered wine will be served and reconstructions of the aulos played\, alongside dance\, songs\, spoken dialogues drawn from ancient Greek texts as well as the sort of games that were played at the symposium. The singers and dancers will be accompanied on the aulos and performers will feature leading international experts in the reconstruction of ancient Greek music\, including Callum Armstrong\, Stefan Hagel\, Kamila Wyslucha\, Olga Sutkowska and Stef Connor.\n\n \n\nOrganised by the departments of Music\, Classics and Drama & Theatre at Royal Holloway\, the event is sponsored by Humanities and Arts Research Institute (HARI)\, Music & Letters and the Institute of Classical Studies.\n\n \nBOOK TICKETS!

SUMMARY:'Virtual Realities as Time Travel' | Dr Richard Cole from the University of Bristol
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Realities as Time Travel\n \n\nAn online Lecture by Dr Richard Cole\, Lecturer in Digital Classics\, University of Bristol.\n\n \nDownload the flyer!\n  \n\nThursday 12th June\, 5:30\n \n\nVirtual realities are frequently praised for their ability to cast the player back in time. This is true of both historical video games set in antiquity and\, more recently\, virtual reality experiences.\n\n \n\nSuch claims can be producer-led\, with examples ranging from marketing materials and modding tools to in-game narratives\, as well as directed towards the medium in question in op-eds or player reviews\, where players themselves reflect on their experiences of virtual realities as a form of time travel. The potential for time travel in virtual realities appears to be fuelled partly by the way in which different media represent the past\, but also by the way in which players explore and make sense of such realities.\n\n \n\nThis lecture examines the underpinning logic of the ‘time travel’ metaphor – what it means in different contexts\, and why it is so effective as a means of conceptualising our relationship to the past in the context of Classically inspired historical video games and VR simulations.

SUMMARY:Euripides' Orestes by the OALS
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that\, after a fully sold-out run of performances in November\, the OALS production of Euripides’ Orestes is making a return! We will be performing on Sunday 22nd June (just after the end of the Oxford term) at the Gulbenkian Theatre in Canterbury\, as part of the ‘DANAÏDS & ‘The Big Greekender’‘ Festival.\n\n \n\nHere is the link to buy tickets for our performance:\n\n \n\nhttps://thegulbenkian.co.uk/events/orestes-by-euripides/\n \n\nThis production\, a unique collaborative project led by the Oxford Ancient Languages Society\, will stage a complete dramatic recreation of Euripides’ play\, demonstrating the vivid dramatic fruits of meticulous\, interdisciplinary scholarship.\n\n \n\nIt will be performed entirely in the original Ancient Greek (with English surtitles)\, with authentic costumes and masks. Crucially\, it will restore Euripides’ drama to its full musical glory. All the sections of the play that were originally sung have been set to music\, newly composed in the ancient Greek modes\, using all available evidence about Euripidean music\, and incorporating an ancient fragment of music from the play that may be by Euripides’ own hand. The chorus and our talented solo singers will be accompanied on the aulos (ancient double-pipes) by the renowned aulete Callum Armstrong\, resulting in a transformative audience experience\, closer than ever to the Athenian stage.\n\n \n\nAnd here is more information about the whole event:\n\n \n\nhttps://thegulbenkian.co.uk/festivals/danaids-the-big-greekender/
