Deadline for applications is Friday at noon!

Guide to the classics: Aristotle’s Poetics is a bible for screenwriters – but it’s often misread

No other classic text has left such a mark on how we tell stories, create theatre, and structure film. But what does it actually say?

12 years ago in Eleusis. Can't quite believe it has been that long since I've been back to Greece.

Excited to see my new edited collection, Experiencing Immersion in Antiquity and Modernity, available for pre-order! www.bloomsbury.com/au/experienc...

Thrilled to have won the 2024 Rob Jordan prize for best book in drama, theatre, dance or performance studies for Punchdrunk on the Classics. You can read the judge's citation here www.adsa.edu.au/dbpage.php?p... (& can ask your library to buy a copy of my book here link.springer.com/book/10.1007...)

Punchdrunk on the Classics

This book draws attention to Punchdrunk’s use of ancient Greek literature in their creation of immersive theatre, and highlights the overlooked significance of antiquity in their practice.

Hello! If you or anyone you know wants to pursue a PhD in world literature and/or Australian literature, esp. on islands and incarceration do get in touch! My DECRA project supports a scholarship in this area at the University of Sydney. For more info or to apply: www.sydney.edu.au/scholarships...

Are you interested in doing a PhD with me? I'm looking for a student to complete a project on race, translation & tragedy. I am particularly interested in a First Nations candidate looking to do a creative writing PhD, but welcome all inquiries: study.uq.edu.au/study-option....

Congratulations to our colleagues at ReTAGS, University of Cape Town, for publishing Making/Doing/Thinking: Methods for Performance Research, an important contribution to Practice as Research scholarship. Check out Making/Doing/Thinking, available open access: openbooks.uct.ac.za/uct/catalog/...

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.

Any thoughts on this #theatresky?

Friends, I have a colleague trying to access a recording of Headlong's 1984. Has anyone come across one before? TIA!

Friends, can you think of an edited collection with an effective, snappy epilogue/afterword written by the editor (as opposed to written by an extra contributor)? I'm after some stellar examples, ideally #theatresky or #classicssky. Ta!

I'm thrilled this news is out! The Committee for the Translations of Classical Authors hopes this award will demonstrate that translation matters (and should count!) in Classics. Inaugural judges are Sarah Ruden, Deborah Roberts, and Adrienne Rose. Please share! classicalstudies.org/awards-and-f...

My main gripe here is that my feed gets dominated by individuals in a way that was filtered out due to the algorithm in prior lands. Any tips? It seams threads don’t get filed underneath the first tweet but in live tweeting I see every one separately…

Made the excuse that I was just going to the toilet and would be right back during the kids’ bedtime to try and give them a chance to fall asleep by themselves. Took myself to the couch to scroll socials only to be sprung by the 4yo who asked why I lied 😟

One final Brisbane/QLD question from this newbie - when does swooping season end?! There are miners enacting a reign of terror on the corner of my street and I start each day terrified of the cycle into work (often with my kids on the back of the bike too!) 😳😱

Another QLD question for you all - do I need to go to a specialist skin cancer clinic for an annual skin check or do GPs do this? Figure I need to get on top of these now I live in Brisbane 😬

Do houses in QLD and/or houses with floorboards produce more dust, or did I just live in invisible filth in my carpeted UK home? Feels like I’m constantly hoovering here 😩

Ah, that small window of time where I have a social media account that my mum hasn’t yet discovered and followed me on 😆. 35 and with nothing to share that she doesn’t know/would care about but it still feels 🔥

Shoutout to all the other caters who started their morning with a book week meltdown. Was I unreasonable for refusing to do face-paint cat ears on the pre-schooler’s forehead when she was already wearing a cat-ear headband? You be the judge.
