 * //Journal entry #1 //**
 * //Today was a normal Monday afternoon except for the fact that we had double drama and that we as actors were going to be introduced to the concepts of masks and to the concept of chorus's. The activities that we did today really helped increase my knowledge and undesrtanding of Greek Theatre because knowing that the Greek's used masks and chorus's transforms you into a whole new acting world. I am first going to discuss the chorus side of Ancient Greek Theatre and what we did in class relating to being in a chorus. The whole class started off being a chorus together. We had to experience how hard it was to keep in unicen without being counted in, also we had never done anything like that before so it was nice to experience something new. Also when you are in a chorus doing an exercise when one person sings a note and everyone joins in you kind of feel like you have sung with that group before. When we were in groups performing the Oedipus scene //**
 * //chorus really added more drama to the scene. //**
 * //Secondly when my group got directions from Ms Partington to get the chorus to move in slower and slower added huge dramatic effect to the scene because the suspense was created and it drew the audience in. ﻿I am glad you could see the impact this decision made. Consider this too, when rehearsing your scene for performance. //**
 * //Lastly when we worked with the masks being an audience was very intimidating because people that you know walking around in white masks not acting like themselves and invading you personal space is really quite scary, especially if the person is acting angry or like a wild animal and is completely not themselves. //**

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Journal entry #2 date: 9/02/11 //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The activities today develop your knowledge and understanding of Greek Theatre, What was the focus? //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The focus of today's lesson was using masks. However it wasn't that simple as we weren't allowed to talk we had to use big gestures to show what we were feeling. To start off with we each chose a mask (not a greek theatre one) and put it on in the mirror and got into character. I had a mask that would probably be used in a tragedy. We were instructed to walk around the room pretending we were that character. I had to make myself think that I was sad and I had to show other people that I was sad as well. I walked around with my hands on my face, in a way kind of hiding my face and pretending to wipe the tears from my eyes. We had to focus on the way we were walking and the way that we reacted with people. It is quite tricky to get used to wearing a mask. I can't imagine how hard it would be for Greek actors because their masks were huge and they were performing to huge crowds of people so their actions had to be humongous and extravagant. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Later on in the lesson we had to pair up with someone and go through 5 different freeze frames that told a story, with no talking, this taught us to make our actions really obvious and not rely on facial expressions as when you have a mask on no one can see your face. So we had to think carefully about how to use our hands and body language to show our emotions. I was a sad person so I put my head down and my hand over my face to show that I was sort of hiding from everything. I mainly used my hands to my advantage because you can use them easily to show emotion. //**
 * //<span style="color: #f00a0a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿It is great to see you are reflecting regularly. You are linking the activity to the skills quite well. It would eb good for you to investigate these further by researching movement and mask. Include your discoveries on your wiki. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">12/02/11, Journal entry #3 //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Review the two different performances. What meaning has created with the female cast? How did this change with the boy actors. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿The two different performances of the play were completely different in many different ways. When the girls performed the mood was very serious and there was no humour in it whatsoever! The girls performed it as though they were those women and as though their husbands had really gone to war. None of the girls took the mickey out of the play or the characters at all! I also think the girl’s performance would’ve been really boring to watch as there was no humour or life in it, it was all just plain and simple. When the boys performed everything changed. The whole mood of the play went from serious to hilarious! <span style="color: #f00a0a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿Thus Greek Comedy was born! The reason for this is because the fact that boys were playing female characters gossiping and ranting on about men is just all out funny. Also boys enjoy taking the mickey out of the female characters and use stereotypes when doing this. For example Rigel put a voice on and acted really posh and iffy which being an audience member just makes you giggle. It is the same with girls playing boy characters; we enjoy taking the mickey because it makes the audience enjoy the performance more as it is funnier. //**

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿ //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿Chorus work: activity 'speaking in one voice' //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">- What were the challenges in this activity? You needed to offer and yueld as you spoke as one, what do these terms mean? What skills can this task teach which you will need for Greek/Roman theatre performance? //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿The were many different challenges faced in this activity, one was the fact that you actually had to speak at exactly the same time with two other people, without actually knowing what we were going to say. Another challenge you faced when doing this activity was actually coming up with what you were going to say on the spot, without knowing what the interviewer is going to ask you. The last challenge we faced in the activity was having to listen to the other people in the group and in a way guessing what they were going to say and having to get your words right immeaditely. The terms to 'offer' and to 'yield' mean that you have to suggest ideas (offering) by starting to speak and letting people follow with you. To yield is when you are going along with what the other person has offered. For example, if someone in your group of 3 was starting to say ' I... had... a ..... bath' You would say the same thing and not try and be funny and change it. The skills that you learn in this task are learning to be 'one' and this is what you need to do when you are in a chorus. You have to be exactly in sync to get the best effect when being in a chorus otherwise no-one understands what the line you are peforming is... //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Extract #2 Lysistrata-enter the chorus. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Summary online of the play 'Lysistrata' //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Simply stated, the plot of Lysistrata depicts Athenian women who are fed up with the Peloponnesian War, so they //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">barricade themselves in the Akropolis. They orchestrate a sex strike in order to force their husbands to vote for peace with //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Sparta. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The play’s action occurs on a street in Athens in front of a gate to the Akropolis, which looms in the background. As the //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">play begins, Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, is pacing back and forth, waiting for the women of various Greek states to //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">gather to form an alliance for peace. Finally Kleonike, another Athenian woman, arrives. The frustrated Lysistrata //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">complains of the women’s tardiness. Eventually more women arrive including Lampito, a strapping Spartan woman; //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Ismenia, a pretty Boiotian girl; and a very large Korinthian woman. After greeting each other and inspecting each other’s //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">differences, Lysistrata asks all the women if they would prefer their husbands and sons home rather than out fighting a //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">war. She suggests a plan of sexual abstinence as a method of peaceful coercion. The women at first refuse, but Lysistrata //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">convinces them and leads them in an oath of allegiance. As soon as the oath is completed, loud cries are heard in the //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">distance, and Lysistrata reveals that a group of older women, under her orders, have taken over the Akropolis. Lysistrata //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">sends Lampito to Sparta to spread the word of their feminine alliance. The rest of the women enter into the Akropolis to //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">set up their command center. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A chorus of old men enter carrying wooden logs, torches, and fire pots. The men move slowly and are weak from age, but //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">they plan to storm the Akropolis and punish the women who plotted against them. A chorus of old women carrying //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">pitchers of water then enters. They confront the old men and a verbal battle ensues, ending with the chorus of women //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">dumping their pitchers of water over the men’s heads. The Commissioner of Public Safety enters and orders his policemen //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">to force open the Akropolis’s gates (p. 45). Once opened, Lysistrata is revealed accusing all men of having brawn and no //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">brains when it comes to solving conflicts. The Commissioner orders the policemen to arrest her. One by one each //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">policeman is dissuaded as the other women in the Akropolis come forward and threaten the men with various domestic //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">weapons. Eventually a large battle ensues, and Lysistrata calls on an army of women who defeat the men using their //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">household weapons. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Beaten and disgruntled, the Commissioner requests that Lysistrata state her terms. She reveals a plan where the women //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">will control the state budget and save the men from the war. The Commissioner angrily ridicules Lysistrata as she attempts //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">to explain her plan. Lysistrata, aided by the other women, silences the Commissioner by wrapping him in her veil, //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">transforming him into a figurative woman. The chorus of women dance and sing of their plans for peace. Lysistrata reveals //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">a step-by-step approach to align the states of Greece and stop the war. The Commissioner tells the women they neither //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">have rights nor any voice in decisions about the war. The women attack him and then retreat into the Akropolis leaving //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">the male chorus to address the audience. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The male chorus leader commands the men to ready for war and then attacks his female counterpart. The choruses strip //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">off their tunics and engage in a naked battle of the sexes. Lysistrata enters, interrupts the battle, and announces that many //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">of the women in the Akropolis are trying to escape. She stops a number of women in their departure who use weak excuses //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">of domestic duty rather than admitting they simply want to return to their husbands for sex. Lysistrata convinces the //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of Aristophanes’s //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Lysistrata //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The male chorus tells a story of a mighty hunter known for his celibacy and misogynous behavior. Both choruses exchange //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">insults and fight for a second time. They are interrupted by Lysistrata who spies a man approaching the Akropolis. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Myrrhine, a young Athenian woman, recognizes the man as her husband Kinesias. Lysistrata tells Myrrhine to use her //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">womanly wiles to seduce and coerce him, but warns her to know when to stop. Kinesias arrives bearing a full erection, //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">and Lysistrata teases him relentlessly. Kinesias, in obvious physical distress, tries many tactics to convince Myrrhine to //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">come home and have sex with him. Myrrhine appears to succumb, suggesting that they have sex immediately. Kinesias //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">eagerly agrees. Myrrhine offers bed, mattress, and pillow, running back and forth between Kinesias and the Akropolis. She //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">provides all that is necessary without an ounce of sexual contact. This teasing game escalates Kinesias’s frustrated desire, //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">so that when they are finally lying together and Myrrhine asks for his vote for peace, Kinesias cries out, “I’ll think it over!” //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Myrrhine runs off without satisfying him, and Kinesias delivers a tragic soliloquy, accompanied by the male chorus. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A Spartan herald, wearing a cloak in an attempt to conceal his erection, is intercepted by the Commissioner who also //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">displays an erection (p.91). The frustrated men exit, agreeing to convince their separate senates of an armistice. The male //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">chorus chastises the female chorus, but the female chorus returns their verbal attacks with kind offers and a gentle kiss to //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">the male chorus leader who proclaims, “Life with women is hell. Life without women is hell, too.” The two choruses unite //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">and address the audience with an invitation to a conjoined feast of peace. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Two groups of men enter, one from Athens and one from Sparta, all concealing erections underneath cloaks. They plead //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">for peace at any cost and call upon Lysistrata to help them resolve the conflict. Lysistrata appears with Peace, a naked //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">handmaiden, whom she instructs to lead the two groups of men to her so that she may address them. Peace does so, //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">causing further arousal. Lysistrata points out to each party how the other had come to their neighbor’s aid in past wars //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">and chastises them for treating each other so badly. The men guiltily agree and attempt to plan a treaty using Peace’s naked //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">body like a map, making claims to certain parts. Lysistrata stops them and urges them to leave and purify themselves so //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">that they may return and enter the Akropolis for a peace ceremony. She promises a home-cooked feast, concluding with //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">the men taking their wives home. The men eagerly exit to prepare for the feast while the united choruses address the //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">audience about their new-found appreciation for their neighbors. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The drunk and happy men come out of the Akropolis, led by a flutist, celebrating their new peaceful behavior. Lysistrata //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">matches the women with each of their men and charges all to dance and sing to the gods in thanks for this happy ending. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">They all do so, and exit singing and dancing. //**

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What themes/issues are explored in the play? The issues and themes explored in the play mainly relate to female discrimmination. This is because men were way more superior to women back in those days and men expected women to do everything for them and the men thought they could order women around and tell them what to do and expect them to obey. Another issue in this play is that the women are refusing to sleep with their husbands until the war is over. They are sick of being used when the men come home just to leave again in a couple of days, they aren't having sex because they are in love the only reason the men are having sex with the women is because they need it as they've been gone so long without it. //**

 * // 17th February - Homework - The Greeks and their Gods //**
 * // You have noticed by now that the Greek plays we have read are filled with references to the Gods. Find 10 examples of references and explain the meaning of each. //**
 * // __ The story of Medusa and Athena __ . Medusa was a beautiful maiden who lived in the city of Athens. Unfortunately she knew that she was beautiful and bragged about her beauty constantly. Medusa raved about her beauty to anyone who stopped long enough to listen. Until one day when she made her first visit to the Parthenon with her friends. The Parthenon was the largest temple to the goddess Athena in all the land. Athena was the goddess of wisdom, for inspiring them and for watching over their city of Athens. //**
 * // __ Thesmophoriazusae __ . This play includes a festival that was dedicated to the godess Demeter who is the goddess of fertility, agriculture, horticulture, grain and harvest. //**


 * // __ The KINGHTS __ : In the first line of this play the word god is mentioned. //**
 * // "Oh! alas! alas! alas! Oh! woe! oh! woe! Miserable Paphlagonian! may the gods destroy both him and his cursed advice! Since that evil day when this new slave entered the house he has never ceased belabouring us with blows." //**
 * // Here a reference is made to all the gods and how they have the ability to destroy people. //**


 * // __ The Clouds: __ In this play a reference is made to all the gods but there is also a reference made to Demeter the goddess of harvest. Well then, by Demeter! I will no longer support you, neither you, nor your team, nor your saddle-horse. Go and hang yourself, I turn you out of house and home. //**
 * // __ Peace: __ This play is about a middle aged Athenean man called Trygaues. Trygaeus's misson, he declares, is to reason with the gods about the war or, if they will not listen, he will prosecute the gods for treason against Greece. Then he soars across the stage heavenwards. Arriving outside the house of the gods, Trygaeus discovers that only Hermes is home. In this play all the gods are mentioned but one of the actual characters in this play is Hermes. Hermes is the god of travel, messengers, trade, thievery, cunning wiles, language, writing, diplomacy, athletics, and animal husbandry. //**


 * // __ The Oresteia: __ This play is a tragedy written by Aeschylus. This play makes references to the gods but also to a particular god Apollo. Apollo is the god of music, healing, plague, prophecies, poetry, and archery; associated with light, truth and the sun. //**
 * // __ The Frogs: __ This play was a tragedy written by Euripedes. This play is about where Dionysus travels to Hades to bring Euripides back from the dead; after a competition of poetry, the god opts to bring Aeschylus instead. Dionysus was the god of wine, parties and festivals, madness, drunkenness and pleasure and Hades was the god of the underworld. He was everything to do with death. //**
 * // __ The Bacchae: __ This is a tragedy that is based on the mythological story of King Pentheus and his mother Agave, and their punishment by the god Dionysus for refusing to worship him. The god Dionysus was the god of wine, parties and festivals, madness, drunkenness and pleasure. //**
 * // __ Oedipus: __ This is a tragedy written by Sophocles. After having been married some time without children, his parents consulted the Oracle of Apollo (God of Sun) at [|Delphi] about their childlessness. The Oracle prophesized that if Jocasta should have a son, the son would kill her husband Laius and marry her. In an attempt to prevent this prophecy's fulfillment, when Jocasta indeed bore a son, Laius had his ankles pinned together so that he could not crawl, and gave the boy to a servant to abandon ("expose") on the nearby mountain. As you can see Apollo has been represented but in oracle form. //**

 * // The Frogs-25/02/11 //**


 * //My group is performing the play The Frogs. The Frogs is a Greek Comedy written by Aristophanes.//**
 * //I am playing Xanthias who is Dionysus's slave.//**
 * //Xanthias is the underdog because he is very brave, Xanthias also brings some of the comedy aspect into the play with some of his remarks.//**
 * //Dionysus is the god and thinks he is amazing, he believes that he is the best and the strongest, however he isn't!//**
 * //My character is meant to be the weak one, however he is actually a whole lot braver than his master Dionysus.//**


 * //__MASK IDEAS__//**
 * //This is a picture of a plain white mask sort of like mine. I have drawn arrows on this picture to show that I don't want his mouth to be showing that much happiness, his mouth still needs to be big but I don't want him to be smiling all the time as the scene we are doing is set in the underworld, so it wouldn't really make sense if he had a huge grin on his face when they were in the underworld because the underworld is the complete opposite of happy. I want him to still be smiling a little because he is in a comedy play and he does laugh a little during the scene.//**
 * //Seeing that Xanthias is a slave and wasn't in the army he can't have a beard as only soldiers had beards in Ancient Greece. Everyone could recognise slaves because in our scene 'Charon' as soon as he sees Xanthias he tells Dionysus that no slaves are allowed. So Xanthias has to be a bit scrawny, so his cheeks can't be big and bubbly they have to be drawn and in a way old.//**

 * //﻿Acting//**
 * **//Actors wore masks to show changes in character//**
 * **//The masks were large and serious for tragedy but for comedy they were more life size and grotesque.//**
 * **//Long, flowing garments or short simple tunics, usually in bright colours were used.//**
 * **//Later on high headdress's were worn//**
 * **//The exact style of acting in Greek Tragedy remains uncertain.//**
 * **//Men took on female roles however it was suggested that some women played minor comedy parts.//**
 * **//The total concept of characterisation was truthfulness in a some what larger-than-life impersonation.//**


 * //Voice//**
 * **//Given a strong, resonant, clear voice, an actor did not need to exert excessive efort when speaking.//**
 * **//It was hard to sustain a long sentence.//**


 * //Movement//**
 * **//The actors had to carry themselves with authority and confidence.//**
 * **//Most of the movements were probably slow, majestic and rythmic and must've been simplififed and broadened to accompany the idealsed characterisation.//**
 * **//Physical contact between actors was probably rare; the quality of restraint could have been accentuated by allowing great phsical distance between characters.//**
 * **//The maner of speaking was directed more towards the audience instead of teh other actors.//**
 * **//Actors hardly ever sat on stage.//**
 * **//Individiualised physical movements were kept to a minimum.//**
 * **//The clothing of later periods restricted the mobility of the actors.//**
 * **//There was no need for facial expressions as your face was hidden by a mask//**
 * **//Costumes remained similar to everyday wear.//**
 * //Music//**
 * **//In the beginning, the music was light, to underscore choral passages.//**
 * **//Later on the music became more important and actors used a variety of instruments including a flute.//**
 * **//A flute player probably preceded the chorus into the orchestra and played music as accompaniment.//**
 * **//Music was very important in choral interludes because it made the singing and dancing more harmonious.//**


 * // In show and tell (filming) //**


 * //﻿Reflect and give feedback for each group. What is working well? What do the group need to change/adjust? How long does the performance last? How Greek is it????//**


 * // Group 1. (Sean, Katie, Jannette, Tom) //**


 * // Everyone has good voice intonation and expression.The body language works well with what they are saying. They need to improve on voice projection and speaking to the audience because that is what Greek Actors did as opposed to talking to the other actors. The staging also needs to be improved because both of the feuding parties are on the same side, so they need to be on opposite sides. The performance goes for around 5 mins 30 which means it is perfect timing. The play was relatively Greek as two masks were finished. //**


 * // Group 3 (Harlie, Rigel, Matt, Daryll) //**


 * // Matt is side on and needs to face forward. Matt needs more voice projection and so does Daryll. Voice enunciation is good except for Matt because he is talking in a high voice and needs to either enunciate his words well or not speak in a high voice. The body language is good because it shows what emotion they are feeling. //**

//** Group 4 (Lauren, Greg, Julia, Ben) **// **//They are all speaking to each other and not to the audience. Side on- this means if wearing a mask you can't seen the actor's face.Good voice projection. Ben needs more expression and needs to open his mouth. Ben needs more movement!//**

**//Group 5 ( Kayne, Jennifer, Aaron, Natasha)//** **//Jennifer has good voice projection. Kayne needs some expression. Aaron has very good acting and expression. Everybody needs to respond to whats being said.//**


 * //__ Slave information. __//**
 * //<span style="color: #102614; font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">The slave masks of Greek theater were often grotesque due to the fact the slave was considered a non-citizen, as well as inferior. The slaves, in Aristotelian thinking, were considered hot and dry. This was due to the fact that they spent much time outdoors performing tasks for their masters and, as a result, their skin had been dried by the sun. The slave had a reddish complexion and tawny hair, which was also attributed to the time spent in the sun. In the later years of Greek theater, white and brown were common hair colors used for the slaves, although the brown hair still carried a reddish tint (Wiles 165). Due to their <span style="color: #102614; font-family: Helvetica,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;">[|Asia Minor] origins, slaves of this time are expected to have black hair, however, black hair was reserved for the free man. The slaves were also distinguished from the free men by the distinctive, stylized beard. The beard of the slave was solid and formed a trumpet around the mouth while the beard of the free man was made of real hair (Wiles 153). In later slave masks, the top of the beard overhangs the lips, which could change the expression of the slave depending upon the angle of vision (Wiles 135). //**

 * // Theory //**


 * // Origin //**
 * // 1. How did Greek Theatre develop? Greek theatre developed from religious rites which dated back to at leas 1200 BC. Greece at that time was peopled by tribes that we may label as 'primitive'. In northern Greece in an area called Thrace, a group arose that worship Dionysus the god of fertility and procreation. The group which worshipped Dionysus practiced ritual celebrations such as getting drunk, human and animal sacrifices and even hysterical rampages by women! The group's most controversial practice was uninhibited dancing and emotional displays that created an altered state this state was known as 'ecstasis' which is where the word ecstasy comes from. //**


 * // 2. What were the first types of Greek Theatre? Greek Theatre was an element of a Greek festival transferred to a Roman festival. The Greeks kept their fields or art, literature and philosophy whilst the Romans expanded their military. //**
 * // 3. How did this change? //**
 * // 4. What was the winner of the festival awarded? //**


 * // Chorus //**
 * // 1. What was the role of the chorus? The role of the chorus was to comment as one voice on the dramatic action throughout the play. //**
 * // 2. How many were there? The chorus was made up of 12-15 people //**
 * // 3. Who were they? The chorus was made up of 15 men drawn from the village and were regarded as a civic duty. //**
 * // 4. How were they selected? The men were drawn from citizenry. //**


 * // Performance Spaces //**
 * // 1. Where originally was Greek Theatre held? Greek theatre was originally held in open areas or city centres. //**
 * // 2. How did this change? Greek Theatre was then later performed in proper outdoor theatres. //**
 * // 3. Label the important areas of the Greek Theatre on the picture provided. (THERE IS NO PICTURE) //**


 * // Acting //**
 * // 1. What did Greek actors wear on stage? Greek actors wore costumes that were worn around the village. Clothes would represent the character's status. //**
 * // 2. What name were they known by? //**
 * // 3. Why did Greek actors wear masks? Greek actors wore masks because when performing to a huge audience their faces would be visible. Masks also allowed the actors to change roles by simply changing masks. Lastly the masks allowed the audience to focus more on the actor's actions as opposed to what the actor looks like. //**
