This two-day interdisciplinary conference organised by the project 'The Body and Mask in Ancient Theatre Space' funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project is a research collaboration between King's Visualisation Lab at the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London and the Department of Classics and Ancient History, Durham University. The project concerns ancient masked performance - specifically in terms of spatial environments, intercultural performance and perceptual experience. Using leading-edge 3D technologies it addresses fundamental questions concerning the conditions and actualities of the ancient theatre.
