Monday, March 16, 4:30 PM-6:00PM
Oriental Institute Museum
Artifacts, Adaptations, and An Iliad at the OI
Court Theater artists will lead a discussion on how teachers can make use of theatrical adaptations of classic texts in the classroom using the Court’s site-specific staging of An Iliad in the Oriental Institute Museum as a jumping off point. Teachers will put these ideas in practice by drawing inspiration from the Museum and its collections of over 5,000 artifacts spanning 10,000 years of history.
This program is presented by Amplify.
