Development Programmes

The APGRD has run and co-organised a range of innovative collaborative development programmes, including: developing new performances inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, training graduate students and early career researchers in public engagement, and co-hosting summer schools for students and theatre practitioners.

Current Programmes

The APGRD is delighted to support BADA (the British American Drama Academy) in their summer programme, Greek Theatre: From the Ancient World to the Modern, Through Theory and Performance. The programme's interdisciplinary model makes it suitable for students and theatre practitioners at various stages of their careers. 

Participants spend ten days in London before travelling to Greece for ten days, and then returning for a final residency in Oxford with the APGRD. See BADA's website for full details. 

Applications for Summer 2025 are now open.

The Greek Theatre program is dedicated to exploring the performance and reception of ancient drama. It is an intense, interdisciplinary course that combines acting and performance work, academic writing, and archival research.
