 Ancient Chorus, Modern Voices:
Antigone and Phaethon on Film

Dr. Hallie Marshall, Assistant Professor of Theatre Studies, 
UBC Department of Theatre and Film
with
Dr.  C.W. Marshall, Professor of Greek, UBC 
Department of Classics, Near Eastern and Religious Studies.

In 2018, in collaboration with the film company Barefaced Greek, we made a short film of the “Ode to Man” from Sophocles’ Antigone with twelve UBC students. This talk will screen that film and discuss the process of undertaking this kind of practice-based research with students as part of a study abroad course to Greece. It will also discuss our next project, a film of the Dawn chorus from Euripides’ fragmentary tragedy Phaethon, to be filmed on the island of Naxos in May 2022.
