Collaborations with creative practitioners are fundamental to the APGRD's research activities. We provide directors, performers, writers, choreographers, and composers a forum in which to come together with academics, students, and the public. Widening access to our research and our collections, these collaborations also exemplify our commitment to practice-based-research and dynamic knowledge exchange. The range of collaborative projects, residencies, and partnerships include:
Cultural Programme / TORCH funded projects

The APGRD has been partnered with Gardzienice European Centre for Theatre Practices (Poland) since September 2013. Founded in 1997 by Włodzimierz Staniewski, Gardzience has produced five Greek/Roman productions: Metamorphoses, Elektra, Iphigenia at Aulis, Iphigenia in Tauris, and the Pythian Oratorio, and developed a new performance language, inspired by ancient Greco-Roman iconography, musical fragments, and the texts on which the productions are based.
