Friends of Ancient Egypt (FAE): Performing Ritual in Ancient Egypt

Wednesday, January 28, 2009
7:00 to 9:00 pm


Status: The first session of this program has begun. Registration not available.

Friends of Ancient Egypt (FAE) are invited to a lecture by Dr. Robyn Gillam, Professor at York University.

Archaeological and textual evidence points to performance-based activities in ancient Egyptian religious ritual. Dr. Gillam will explore this on-going tradition and the emerging field of "performance archaeology".

Dr. Robyn Gillam is a professor at York University, where she has been teaching classes in Mass Communication, Classical and Religious Studies since 1989. She has a doctorate from the University of Toronto, majoring in Egyptian language and literature. A re-enactment of an ancient ritual text, the Triumph of Horus, has been performed as a part of one of Robyn's classes. Her book credits include Hall of Mirrors: Museums and the Canadian Public (2001) and Performance and Drama in Ancient Egypt (2005).
