Here are notes that I took in class:
Three forms of Greek theatre.Tragedy, comedy, satyr plays. Building called theatrons. Comedies were written for the humor of the ancient Greek time.Humor changes over time. Tragedy is where the main character see adversity.First there wasn’t actors in the plays it was just hosts people that would tell the stories. Other people after there actorswas called followers. First actor Aechylos, Thespis, and Sophocles. Hypocritas was the main roles.Women were not allowed to be in the plays. Mask would express the emotions. Each mask allowed the actors to play many roles. The mouth and the eye hole were small because they wanted the crowd to see the emotion of the mask.Thepis was the earliest recorded playwright known to use mask.Worn in Ancient Greece golden ages around 500-300 B.C.Costumes were important in the theater. Defined the emotion with the mask, the gender, your social status. The role of a women would be played by a young man that still have a high pitch voice.
