This interdisciplinary research network brings together theatre practitioners, theatre historians and scholars of ancient Greek and Roman theatre in order to explore and forge new ways of staging the ancient chorus in theatre today. A parallel objective is to broaden scholarly conceptions of the dramatic potentials of the chorus both as an historical component the drama of Graeco-Roman antiquity and as a contemporary dramatic tool. This collaborative network seeks to build on previous interconnections between the academy and the theatre by bringing together groups of academics and practitioners over a sustained period of time.
