Sci-Phi #4: Dramaturgy - A history of the evolution of empty spaces
With Andriana-Anna Tsiotsiou, resident dramaturge at JÁ International Theatre pursuing a Ph.D. in performance studies in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Stories are seas- wine dark and scarlet and serene and raging, mellifluous and maelstromic and ultimately irresistible to those who gaze at her in longing and hear the waves tell their tales.
Join us for a deep dive into the history of the thespian arts starting from the Aegean shores where Thespis, the firsr actor walked into an empty space to perform a story, all the way through to the explosive eddies and funnels of on-stage dramaturgies in the 20th century through Stanislavski, Chekov and Ibsen with a broad stroke swim past the still evolving coral islands of 21st century technological theatre in the age of the learning machine.
Join Suresh Nampuri, scientist and researcher in String Theory and Quantum Physics.
