November update

I'm really excited to be involved in a whole load of seminars and projects starting next week, especially working with internationally recognised writer/director George Rodosthenous as a script consultant  for Euripides' Orestes and to develop a series of masterclasses. The masterclasses will involve taking an academic and a performance perspective to the Orestes' staging and characterisation. These masterclasses will be open to the public and/or intended for the cast of George's new production ( world premiere March 2011 at http://www.stage.leeds.ac.uk/).

I'm also organising a series of pre-performance talks for the general public by academics, following on from the success of the series of three pre-performance talks accompanying George Rodosthenous' Hercules' Wife (May 2010 at http://www.stage.leeds.ac.uk/). So look out for Dr. Roger Brock on politics, Prof. Malcolm Heath on dysfunctional families and myself on Euripidean staging and surprising the audience...

Other than that, Underworlds Live in Leeds, is still going places - a university/local arts partnership seminar and networking event next week and a seminar on performance-based research after that. Watch this space for further details!
