Come Find Us at PAMLA 2024!
Join us as members of Diversifying the Classics meet for a panel discussion titled “Reaching New Audiences Through Translation and Adaptation.” The panelists will present on a variety of projects currently underway at DTC, including the adaptation series Golden Tongues, which invites local playwrights to adapt Hispanic classical theater to a modern Los Angeles, and MEX-Clásicos’ children’s book project, which focuses on developing materials for young audiences. Moreover, the panel will explore the role of technology and multimedia platforms in expanding the reach of classical works to broader demographics, particularly younger audiences. We hope to see you there as we discuss best strategies for embracing the richness of diverse perspectives and narratives so that we can ensure that classical literature remains vibrant and relevant in an ever-changing world.
