Today in classed we shared the greek character learner profile in groups together, and learned how to balanced at stage in different number of people, we should always get into the stage in different time, standing in a triangle to keep the stage balanced well because it will turn very equallyWhy does that mean the stage is balanced?. Facing the audience, not using our back to face the audience, speak out loud, remembering our action movements.

Waged by an Achaean alliance against the city of Troy, the war originated from a quarrel between three goddesses (Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite) over a golden apple, thrown by the goddess of strife at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, and inscribed with the words “for the fairest.” Unwilling to settle the dispute himself, Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, the young prince of Troy, who gifted the apple to Aphrodite for the goddess had promised him, as a token of gratitude, the love of Helen, the most beautiful girl in the world.

What are some sad stories, movie or book

What are some big sport events, concerts, festivals, parades, or public celebration have you been to

# data[].attributes.body
I have been to a big celebration before, people are celebrating what has happen recent, sharing with other people what has happened that made them very happy.
Can you give a specific example?

# data[].attributes.body
The background shows they are on a ship, people on the ship are all happy and celebrating maybe because they just win a war or a competition. The relationship between those people are they are all boat workers or a family, they all have guns in their hand shows that they are a powerful organization. They make the stage balanced by they are all standing in different places on the ship/boat evenly. At the background there is also a flag, this shows they are a group of people from which country or this flag represent an powerful organization.

Their body and emotion can show they are very happy and positive, it looks like a excitement of just won or gained something.

It did create the tension of power because from the photo we can see they are a family or a organization, they have a group of people, they also have guns in their hand.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I learned it is very important to have a suitable topic of the show or else the audience will get board, characters in different hight to show the level of stage.
After trying all of the stage What are they?, I found out I like every type because they are all group work and I think working with group together makes me feel very relaxed. My opinions did not change yet, but I feel like it just takes time, it might change after.
I think all of them are kind of the same, they work same effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
What did you learn?
Today in class I learned about chorus in greek theater, for example like what did the chorus do on stage which is?, what is a chorus in Greek tragedy, and more. I really like doing this because I enjoy making a stage together with friends, we take turn to be the main character

How did you feel about each type?
I feel like all the type are basically the same, there is not a big difference between them.

Did your opinions change?
not yet, but I have a feeling it will change later...

Which do you think is most effective?

# data[].attributes.body
What is the purpose of the Greek Chorus?
The purpose of Greek Chorus is provide context, summary information, and commentary on the drama that is presented to the audience.

How are you applying the chorus to your groups performance?
We all have our own characters in our performance, the character I am presenting in the show is a god but in infant period and I got eaten by my father, but after my brother killed the dad and saved me out. At the end of the performance we will sing a powerful??music together...

What do you need to do in your next rehearsal both individually and as a group?
We all have to remember how to keep the stage balanced, remembering our movements and when are we supposed to come on the stage. Managing our selfs well is the importance thing to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Can you see similarities between the Greek chorus in the video and your own?

The movement they have are mostly all synchronized, everyone mostly does the same movement, there is only 1-2 people making other movement. In our play, we also have parts where most people does the same movement or singing together.

What are the differences?

The difference is, in the video they are mostly doing synchronize movement, but in our play, we only have 1 part where everyone is synchronized. The video has 1-2 people not joining the synchronize.

What are they doing that could be incorporated in to your own?

We should learn from the video that having 1-2people not joining the chorus so our play will give the audience a better idea of the Greek chorus. How would doing that achieve this? I will be telling my group me idea to be able achieve

# data[].attributes.body
How has the use Greek Chorus developed since last lesson?
The Greek Chorus developed from singing synchronize together to doing synchronize movement together, we must include 1 chorus in our performance.

How is the use of your Greek chorus aiding the performance?
It can make our performance looks more synchronized and more like a group, it can also show the personal parts characters have in the show. Greek chorus can also help the audience understand the story, while we are attending the greek chorus, it can also give audience more idea of what are we doing.  Good!

Could the use of your Greek chorus improve? If so, how and why?
It can be improved by first, everyone has to remember the movement that they are supposed to do, because some times people will forget what to do, or when to start or come in. Second, we need to be more neat, if we are not neat, and joining in in different time, it will make the audience misunderstand about what are we doing. Third, everyone needs to precipitate, because some people are not welling to do the chorus with us, and if we lose one person, the chorus will also show out not that well.

Today in class we planed another performance, it is about Poseidon is invited to Hydros grandmas birthday part, shark told Poseidon that there is a giant octopus in the sea, and the octopus is stronger than him, Poseidon has a choice to make. If he kill the octopus, he would be prove to be the strongest in the sea, but he would need to risk his life. If he doesn't kill the octopus, he would be safe, but he would need to suffer being the second, in the rest of his life.

We used Greek chorus in our performance first at when Hydros grandmas birthday part begin, we said "Once upon a time, Poseidon, the god of the sea. was invited to hydro's, the god of water, grandmother's birthday party" together. Second part is when the shark is telling Poseidon about the octopus, we were stumping our foot on the ground twice to make sound that represents the chorus.

Parados: Back story summarization, foreshadow...

Dilemma: choice

Climax

Catastrophe: disaster

Stasimon: Summarize, any additional details at the end.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's class we are performing our show to audience, our story is about Poseidon being invited to Hydros grandmas birthday part, and Poseidon killed Hydros and Hydros grandma because Poseidon don't know Hydros grandma is the octopus that the shark told him, Hydros want to stop Poseidon by killing his grandma, so Poseidon killed them all. After all Poseidon finally know today is the octopus birthday, he will invited here but he killed longevous.

We used Greek Chorus at when Poseidon is making his choice, we are repeating the last word of the sentence that Poseidon said. When he realized he killed the longevous, we walked beside him and surround him in the middle as a part of chorus because we are going to be saying the same thing and doing the same movement Why?

# data[].attributes.body
In today's class, the biggest change we made in our performance was adding prologue. After Poseidon introduced himself and where he will be going later in the performance, we also added a scene of Hydros inviting Poseidon tom his grandmother's birthday party. When Poseidon talks to himself thinking how there is a stronger person than himself, the chorus people will repeat the last word of every sentence he says.

Today is the last class with the group I have now, it is our last time to practice our stage about the story of Pociden and Hydrons. We did not make big changes of the story, it is still same as last time.

# data[].attributes.body
In todays class, we are missing 1 person (Andrew) today, so what we did was we let Boni replace Andrew, and I will replace Boni. Boni did not remember Andrew's line, so during practice and performing, we used "Andrew's line" instead of saying the original line. Boni was the messenger before, after I replace Boni I will need to memorize the message down, so I become chorus and messenger.

When Hephaestus goes outside, the chorus people will go back on the stage and stand around the stage waiting for Prometheus to come in. This is all we got for this class, scene 5 is when prometheus come in to find the fire.

# data[].attributes.body
For todays class we will be continuing our scene 5 which was prometheus comes in and find for fire in the work shop. After chorus people stand around the stage, prometheus will come in, he will be looking all around for fire, and making the work shop a mess, we will be using chorus by when prometheus is find for fire, the chorus people will say "think, think, think" together to give prometheus a hint. When prometheus find the fire, he will be thinking of how could he carry the fire back, and he found a pumpkin on the flor, he will put the fire in the pumpkin and run away. Scene 6, when Hephaestus come in he will find out that he loose his fire, and we will go straight into scene 7. This is all we got for this class.

Then we will be moving on to scene 8. Scene 8 is when Prometheus give the fire to the stone age people for them to develop, and we will get into scene 9. Hephaestus will have a meeting with all the gods (Zeus, Athena) together to think about who took the fire. Zeus (Xinyi) thought of prometheus because he needs it for human devolution, Athena (Ana) said she will take Prometheus back before midnight, and we will get into scene 10. This is what we have this class

# data[].attributes.body

After he is done says his line, he will starting running on the stage and trip himself, when he falls to the ground Athena will catch him and tell the chorus people take him away. Scene 11 is Zeus, Athena, Hephaestus gathering together, and Prometheus will be kneeling at front of the gods, the gods are coming up with ideas about how to punish Prometheus, and the final result is tie him on a rock and let eagle pecked his forehead. We will be using chorus in this scene by while the gods are coming up with ideas, chorus will repeat the last word in every sentence the gods say. This is what we got this class, we will be working on the moral of the story next class.

# data[].attributes.body
For this class we are presenting to the other class to see our performance, we brought our own clothes to suit our show. I brought a checkered shirt and khaki shorts to suit the character of chorus. We had the first 40 minute to practice our performance, our performance was 90% done already and we just need some more practice. The chorus part was the part we need the most practice because we need to make sure that every chorus person can say the lines out at the same time. The ending scene is Yunha the messenger saying the message of the story, and then every chorus people will go on the stage to say the moral of the story, we will say at the same time "The moral of the story, some times sacrifices are needed to help others"

Features of Greek Theatre with examples from performances

# data[].attributes.subject
Features of Greek Theatre with examples from performances

# data[].attributes.body
The main features in Greek Theatre is using masks and performing by a chorus and three actors.

Masks: In our summative performance, we have used mask very well in our performance. The only people who had mask was the people that had 2 characters. For example, Arda is one of the stone age man also a god (Hephaestus). At the start of the scene he will be wearing the mask and talk as the god, then moving on to the next scene where cave mans are up, he will take his mask off and act as cave man. This is show a person that has 2 characters very well, it is easy for the audience to understand because the mask can show the performer has 2 identity. Yunha is a part of chorus but she also has a mask because the is the messenger.

Chorus: We used Chorus very well in our performance. Few example of chorus we used in our performance was at scene 2, all the chorus people goes on stage and says explain why does humans need fire. At scene 4, when Hephaestus here there is noice outside, chorus people will go around him and say "go outside and check" at the same time, and we will stand in a position around the stage waiting for Prometheus to come in. When Prometheus comes in to find fire, we will be saying "think, think, think" until he finds the fire. At the scene where the gods are coming up with ideas about how to punish Prometheus, we will repeat the last word of the sentence. More example and detail please check reflection October 11-25.

Three actor: The three main character for our performance is Athena (Ana), Zeus (Xin-Yi), and Hephaestus (Arda) which are the three gods in our show.

Your example of a sad story and responses to questions

# data[].attributes.subject
Your example of a sad story and responses to questions

# data[].attributes.body
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy story.

Romeo kills Tybalt not because of a flaw within himself, but because of the violent feuding spreading across Verona. He himself is not responsible for the feud, an "ancient grudge" that has been in place long before the play opens. Romeo's murder of Tybalt is impulsive, but the act doesn't reveal a deeper lack within his character. Rather, the murder is externally motivated by his circumstances. Similarly, in dying by suicide, Juliet acts rashly and unwisely, but her actions can't be described as a character-driven error so much as a response to her desperate circumstances.

Good of sad stories:

The ending of most sad stories converts useful information and insights to the audience. After experiencing sadness, humans will deeply remember this experience, especially when they see someone else experiencing a very sad experience, they will pay more attention because they are afraid of the same thing happening to themselves.

Sad stories are also important for people because it can help you keep sight of your relationship and dreams, being sad doesn't mean you are not coping with a situation. Rather, it helps you come to terms with that situation and move on. It is an important emotion that can help you adapt, accept, focus, preservers and grow.

Plato vs Aristotle - your responses to theories of theatre

# data[].attributes.body
Both Aristotle and Plato believed thoughts were superior to the senses. Plato believed the senses could fool a person, Aristotle stated that the senses were needed in order to properly determine reality.

I agree with Aristotle more because Plato is a bit too idealist, Plato believed that everything had an ideal form, but I believed the same thing as Aristotle which was looking at the real world and studying it. Plato being too idealist can block updated understandings of how the world works, they revel in their own world. But I like following through the world, I accept everything that happens natural.

In the theory of theatre I also agree which Aristotle, he thinks the purpose of drama is to arouse in the audience feelings of pity and fear, and to purge these emotions, thereby making people stronger emotionally. I think the purpose of drama is to let the audience have the same feeling as the performer, both people should have the same emotion as the character, I think letting people feel the emotion is also a important in theatre, because the purpose of drama is the conveying emotions and deliver information
