"The ancient Greeks loved live theatre. Every town had at least one open air theatre. These theatres attracted crowds of 15,000 people. per performance. At first, Greek theaters were not used for plays. They were used for music, songs, and dances in honor of the Greek gods. Songs were sung by a chorus. These songs told stories of the gods, the stories the Greek knew and loved. As time went on, some of the chorus began acting out the stories. Greek writers began to write plays for the chorus to sing and act out.
There was almost no scenery or backdrops. There were two simple machines used on the stage. One was to lift an actor into the air, who was playing the part of a god. The other machine made a thunder sound, as Zeus was often a character in the play, and the sound of thunder was something Zeus did according to the ancient Greeks. The actors wore masks."

This is important because the time period might be reflected in the story and if we understand what was happening in the time then maybe we would be able to better understand the tragedy and the message it is trying to convey to its audience. ]]> 2016-04-04 14:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rddietrich/khjoqxttjcxo/wish/103912052 What is the structure of Greek tragedy? https://padlet.com/rddietrich/khjoqxttjcxo/wish/103915562 What is the structure of Greek tragedy?]]> 2016-04-04 14:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rddietrich/khjoqxttjcxo/wish/103915562 What is the structure of Greek tragedy?

Explain https://padlet.com/rddietrich/khjoqxttjcxo/wish/105288518 "A Greek chorus is a homogeneous, non-individualised group of performers in the plays of classical greace , who comment with a collective voice on the dramatic action. The chorus consisted of between 12 and 50 players, who variously danced, sang or spoke their lines in unison and sometimes wore masks." (Nationaltheater, 2015)

The chorus used to accompany the play by saying what was going on between the acts and also to talk whilst the actors where off-stage and changing clothes. This is because there were many few actors, around three. ]]> 2016-04-12 12:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rddietrich/khjoqxttjcxo/wish/105288518
