"Jorge’s participation in this project has been invaluable and he has made his own progress and gained his self-assertion, especially on stage. His work has power and dignity. "

Regina Kapetanakis

The Aeschylus Project was a series of lectures and practical series of workshops involving movement and rehearsals of scenes from Seven Against Thebes, a play written by Aeschylus. The workshop focused on an examination of the ancient Greek chorus as envisaged by Aeschylus, the first major Greek tragedian, and as interpreted by the National Theatre of Greece and its foremost choreographer, Regina Kapetanakis. Two open rehearsals were presented at the conclusion of the five week workshop. Actors, dancers and musicians received the applause and recognition of the audience and the faculty present at the event.

"To the pioneer students of the Aeschylus project (...). I leave them all with fondest memories and with the gift of Thelxis (infatuation) of the theatre experience."
Regina Kapetanakis

"Where theatre is put into practice (...), our vision in action."
Don Rubin

"The one I like best is your Eteocles solo one, it is quite dramatic. I remember what an impact you made on the audience in general, especially your closing exit with the song."
