Martha Frintzila is based in Athens, Greece. She has worked on a diverse range of projects including theatre and music performance direction, chorus coordination and music advising. With a commitment to research and theatrical experimentation, she has made various innovative productions of Ancient Greek Drama as well as of classical and modern international theatre. Frintzila is a founding member of Kratiras Arts Space and the founder of Baumstrasse Studio, a multi-purpose space of theatrical and musical research with a specialization in Ancient Greek Drama. Dedicated to teaching, she regularly gives lectures and seminars on various topics about theatre and singing, in Greece and abroad. Martha is the director of "Dromos me Dentra" theatre group and an Acting teacher at the National Theatre of Greece. She is the leading singer in the "Kubara Project" and "Stacy" Bands. As a singer and actress she has performed in festivals and concerts in Europe, USA, China, the Middle East and Cuba.
Frintzila has an ongoing artistic relationship with Princeton University. In January of this year, she led a workshop on the Princeton campus in conjunction with the Program in Theater entitled "The Ten Minute Tragedy." Over the course of nine days, student and alumni participants each prepared a Greek tragedy and interpreted every role in the play him or herself. The focus of this workshop was on the participant, who, beginning with the reading of the tragedy and proceeding to its narration and interpretation, was required to at once become an actor, dramatist, and director. Frintzila has also been a valuable teaching resource for theater and other courses at Princeton that have included travel to Greece, such as the summer 2012 Global Seminar, "Staging the Greeks," cosponsored by the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies, the Lewis Center for the Arts, and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies.
