Good news: I will be studying abroad in Greece this summer as part of a theatre/classics program at KU. We will put on a production of The Bacchae by Euripides. My purpose, in addition to playing the role of Dionysus, will be to compose the music for the production. This is a joint collaboration:
Dennis Christilles: director and lyricist
Meggi Sweeney: choreographer
Brian Bondari: composer
Sean Smith, a KU undergrad, will provide video documentation of the entire process. Because of the collaborative, cross-disciplinary nature of this project, we have been awarded a Collaboration grant from the KU School of Fine Arts. That grant will certainly help to cover the costs involved.
We will be abroad from June 21st through August 1st. Once we return to Lawrence, we will perform three shows in the early fall.
This promises to be a very exciting venture.
