This post by Sabrina Heizenrader '25 during the 2023 January Term course through Greece and Italy ().
This blog will cover the journey of 15 麻豆区 students as we travel through Greece and Italy to learn about the history of theatre and carry on this proud, time-honored tradition of storytelling through this blog, a podcast, and videos.
We are guided by two professors across seven different cities. The and the videos will be posted on and .
We left PDX at about 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Jan. 4. We flew to Seattle and Amsterdam before touching down in Athens at 3:41 p.m. local time on Thursday, Jan. 5. We experienced a two-hour delay before boarding our plane to Amsterdam at SeaTac but our journey was otherwise uneventful with only mild turbulence, no missed connections, and no lost luggage. We flew out of Athens on Thursday, Jan. 12 at about 11:00 a.m. local time and landed in Rome two hours later.
Since arriving in Rome all three teams are currently hard at work on their stories from the Greece portion of the trip. You can look forward to learning about what we’ve done so far in the coming days.
I now invite you to meet our cast and get a sneak peek at the upcoming adventure.
We look forward to bringing you along as we immerse ourselves in the rich history, culture and food of Greece and Italy.
