Venue
Ertegun House, Oxford
Date
By drawing on the rich and interdisciplinary nature of clothing, this conference will bring together seasoned scholars and doctoral students from an array of backgrounds to cultivate a multidimensional approach to clothed bodies and objects in dance and performance. By connecting threads between disciplines, the conference will create a generative web of knowledge and engagement with modes of movement and dressing across the ancient and modern worlds. Since dress is an often-overlooked area of study, inter-disciplinary dialogue is vital to showcase the multitude of scholarly responses to ancient Greek bodies, performance and clothing.
The event will bring together participants from Classical Archaeology, Philology, Classical Reception, Ancient dance studies, English, Theatre History, Fashion History, and Gender studies. It will feature a live performance and an accompanying textile art exhibition.
