NT : What's On : Take Part : Ancient Chorus and Modern Ensembles - Lucy Jackson

Ancient Chorus and Modern Ensembles - Lucy Jackson

Researchers’ Tales

Lucy Jackson, a doctoral student in Classics at Oxford University, explores contemporary approaches to the ‘problem' of the chorus as seen in productions by Katie Mitchell at the National Theatre from 1999 to 2006. Jackson questions how twenty-first century treatments of the chorus compare with ancient choruses, and indeed how those treatments compare with what a twenty- first century audience expects of a chorus today.
