UCI's New Swan Shakespeare Center presents, in collaboration with UCI Illuminations, "Transfigurations" a series of sessions on the transformation of narratives through media. Hosted by guest scholar, Neah Lekan! At each session we'll welcome a guest artist who specializes in the performing arts, and together we'll answers questions about the adaptation of narratives across media, and how one adapts classical work to best fit ourselves, our times, and our spaces. Please sign up to receive updates!
