Really glad to have been able to attend @classicsremixed's one-day online conference today. A rich and varied programme, vibrant discussions throughout, and a pleasure to present some early work in progress research and receive generous questions and feedback. #classicsremixed

All are welcome to join, even if you haven't been able to make the conference today. And we also want to give a big shout out to @adaptstudies for being such a brilliant partner throughout the whole Remixing series 💫#classicsremixed

[Remixing the Classics @classicsremixed]

We're all really looking forward to our final roundtable with @DeborahCartmell, @JulieGrossman1, @mirthnomatter and Eckart Voigts, where we'll ask what difference, if any, does digital tech make in the field of adaptation studies? #classicsremixed

Our final paper panel, on Children's Literature and Digital Learning, will begin in about 10 minutes at 3.30pm (UK). We'll be going on bear hunts, thinking about inclusive curricula, and exploring the role of music in adaptation and education #classicsremixed

[@benbroadribb.bsky.social @Ben_Broadribb]

Finally in this panel, C. C. Kellogg (@InvulNos) explores the online digital revivals of the Wooster Group's Hamlet in 2020 and 2022. #classicsremixed

[@benbroadribb.bsky.social @Ben_Broadribb]

Third in this fascinating panel, Koel Chatterjee (@ChatterjeeKoel) presents her paper on how digital paratexts help inform and shape our understanding of the core Shakespearean texts. #classicsremixed

[@benbroadribb.bsky.social @Ben_Broadribb]

It's time for the Shakespeare Digitally Reimagined panel, starting with @gemmaallred's exploration of TikTok's #modernshakespeare hashtag - fittingly, a digitally pre-recorded talk itself vibrantly created using TikTok! #classicsremixed

[Lucyna Krawczyk-Żywko @drlkz.bsky.social @dr_lkz]

Absolutely agree with @drchrislouttit’s remark that obscure texts offer a valuable insight into the adapted ones. They deserve our attention. #classicsremixed

[Remixing the Classics @classicsremixed]

Now Lucy Hobbes is talking to us about the 'digital triptych' that she and her collaborators are creating as part of their 'genetic' edition of Andrew Davies's Middlemarch tv adaptation #classicsremixed

[Beth Sharrock @mirthnomatter]

Absolutely fascinated hearing @Ben_Broadribb 's work on the mediation of Gregor's transformation in @HijinxTheatre 's Metamorphoses #classicsremixed @classicsremixed

[Remixing the Classics @classicsremixed]

Next @drchrislouttit is talking to us about Dickens, the internet, and Gen Z. Dickens, he and other suggest, would have love the internet. So why doesn't the internet love him? #classicsremixed
