Posted on by

JANUARY 4 IN PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia Theatre Company – tickets: https://myptc.philadelphiatheatrecompany.org/92277/…

Attention greater Philadelphia area teachers and students! Tickets are now on sale at $35 to the public for the Martha Graham Dance Company performance of two Greek myth-based dances, Saturday Jan. 4 in downtown Philadelphia, in conjunction with the SCS-AIA annual meeting.

One dance is based on Medea, the other loosely on Ariadne and Theseus. Both are amazing pieces.

You or your students may find this performance an ideal way to experience classical reception in action. I have used the Medea dance in my teaching with great success.

Feel free to write Ronnie Ancona if you have any questions (rancona@hunter.cuny.edu). And if you will be attending the SCS-AIA meeting, along with co-organizer Nina Papathanasopoulou, you are welcomed to attend our panel on myth and Graham earlier on the 4th.

If you ARE registered for SCS-AIA:

Registrants of the 2025 Annual Meeting can purchase tickets at a discounted rate of $25 for faculty and $15 for students. To buy discounted tickets, registrants should look for the purchase link in the confirmation email they receive after completing their registration.

Our student focus is on research, teaching, and ethics.
