Why have Greek stories remained relevant throughout history? In this workshop\, we will delve into classical Greek source texts alongside their modern adaptations to explore this enduring question. From the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides to the contemporary reimaginings by Luis Alfaro and Will Power\, we will examine how these narratives have been reshaped over time. Through scene work and discussion\, we’ll consider what has changed—and\, just as importantly\, what continues to resonate across generations. Sessions meet 10:00am-5:00pm on Tuesday and Wednesday. \nParticipants will work on a scene from one of four plays—Oresteia by Aeschylus (Adapted Robert Icke); The Bacchae by Euripides (Translated and Adapted by Bryan Doerries); Memnon by Will Power; and Mojada by Luis Alfaro. Actors are warmly welcome to explore scenes across age\, type\, race\, and gender. \nYou can sign up either together with a partner or as an individual and you will be paired with another individual. Each pair will work twice over the two days. Slight conflicts can be accommodated. \nIf you are looking for a partner\, you may post in the comments thread\, or you can also find contact information for all members in the member directory.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Carl Cofield\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nCarl Cofield is a New York based director\, actor\, and teacher\, and is currently Chair of New York University’s Grad Acting Program and Associate Artistic Director of the Classical Theatre of Harlem\, where he has directed Seize the King\, The Bacchae\, A Christmas Carol in Harlem\, Antigone\, The Tempest\, Macbeth\, and Dutchman.

We will work with image\, tempo\, form\, and movement. The technique teaches us to rely on our physicality and our image life to give us insight into our characters\, such as physicalizing our objectives so that they don’t remain an intellectual exercise\, but instead are an embodied experience. Chekhov believed ‘inherent in every actor is the desire for transformation\,’ and he set out a method that is playful\, imaginative\, safe\, healthy\, creative\, and accessible to anyone truly looking to experience themselves differently.
