So when and where did this start? Who were the first to write plays and put on performances? How were they executed without all the props and technological gadgets that we have today at our disposal? The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the captivating genre of Ancient Greek Theater and the theatrical performances in the Ancient world and also help them understand and familiarize themselves with Greek drama, culture, and other sociopolitical aspects of Ancient Greek society. Every week we will be examining fundamentals of Greek drama and theater and we will be discussing one play, circumstances of its performance etc. We will also be watching modern performances and reenact parts of these plays in class, so as to comprehend the technical aspects of Greek theater and better comprehend the way it would be perceived by the Greeks. We will have quizzes on the discussed material. Course Requirements Daily preparation of the assigned material is required and necessary. This will also help you succeed in your quizzes and exams. Announced Quizzes Two exams Weekly Schedule Every Monday we will be discussing the logistics of the theater and theatrical productions in Ancient Greece.
