Thespis, Athens, and The Origins of Greek Drama: Crash Course Theater #2

Very nice presentation and explanation bro 👌👌👍👍👍😊

This is amazing

this was great but the picture quality went hazy partway through it was hard to pay attention.

Hi- thank you for this video. I am a theater major and have an upcoming quiz; my Professor recommended this video. Good vid.

I accidently hit the dislike button...i'm so sorry! I love it

Anyone here from home school work

Can you stop with those drawings of fat nude guys.

One time I had a substitute teacher for my theater class, and as my friends and I were walking in, he said, "Welcome my thespians" when we thought he said lesbians.

That was really helpful, thank you for the video.

Watched CSmith

Why do I have to watch this OMO

Oof this video was for one of my High School work in Drama!! ;-;

the mONTAGE

Can I have the whole video transcript?

No me gusta. Esta muy aburrido.

ais anyone?

mongols!

so informative, you helped me prepare for my test, thank you!
one note though, you mentioned toga, but togas were only worn in the roman empire times, and only inside the borders of
Rome

I believe what Aristotle meant, maybe (just my opinion), when you watch anything that shows your fears for example, usually shows the main character fighting those fears, and at the end realizing how small and nonsense those feelings are. Well my English sucks, but that's just what I think

Who is here for some BTS theoriiess? Cant be just me right..

At that time, did theatre have a religious function in Athens or a secular function (it was organised in honor of the city) ?

39) Classical Greek-Κλασσικά Ελληνικά,

39) Κλασική Ελληνική-Κλασική English,

Όταν
ένα νεογέννητο μωρό φυλάσσεται απομονωμένο χωρίς κάποιον που
επικοινωνεί με το μωρό, μετά από λίγες μέρες θα μιλήσει και η ανθρώπινη
φυσική γλώσσα (Prakrit) γνωστή ως Κλασική Magahi Magadhi / Κλασική
γλώσσα Chandaso / Magadhi Prakrit / Κλασική Hela Basa (Hela Language) Κλασική Pali που είναι τα ίδια. Ο Βούδας μίλησε στο Μαγαδί. Όλες οι 7111 γλώσσες και οι διαλέκτους είναι εκτός πυροβολισμού του Classical Magahi Magadhi. Ως
εκ τούτου, όλα αυτά είναι κλασικά στη φύση (Prakrit) των Ανθρώπων,
ακριβώς όπως όλες οι άλλες ζωντανές speices έχουν τις δικές τους φυσικές
γλώσσες για την επικοινωνία.

bravo

just so you know they wouldn't have worn togas they probs would have worn a chiton

So those who adopt western drama are culturally appropriating it.

isn't BCE the same as BC at the end of the day? don't they both refer to the same thing: the birth of Jesus?

CC and Mike, I love you guys but please, a bit more research into terminology and pronounciation, I was groaning throughout. Like... it's PARODOI, not paradoi, and KOTHORNOI, not cathornoi. And not deus ex machina, that's the Roman drivel. It's apo mechanis theos. And we never wore togas. We wore chitons/khitons. They're much more stylish. Please don't sideline Greek cultural stuff, it's bad enough everyone else does it!!!

Why no references XD

The people who disliked thos are the people wwho w

Does anyone know if the transcripts of these videos are available anywhere?

3rd time watching this still love it.

Wearing my thespian society sweater and having initiated earlier this week, I feel great.

origin of Greek Drama: Dept a lot of it
The only Western country that is actually placed on the East

Beautiful.

Orchestra is, quite literally, the "dancing place" since orchesis means dance. Also dance back then didn't involve much movement of the feet but happened mostly with the upper body.
The earliest plays were most likely entirely sung - which is consistent with their origin in narrative choral song. Aristotle mentions that they were initially written in trochaic tetrameter, which is a facile musical meter (that's from memory, so there may be variation in the meters). That eventually evolved to iambic hexameter which is the standard meter for all spoken parts in extant tragedies. It's quite likely that this evolution coincided with an augmentation of the spoken parts.
There were no togas! Togas are for stately Romans... they were thoroughly barbaric. They did wear a (rectangular) himation, which was the equivalent of a winter coat (that could double as a blanket)... nobody would enjoy wearing too many layers during the summer.

There's a small spelling error as 7.20. Sopholes

i love u crash course, u da best

The Thought Bubble description of Greek theatre with its outlandish masks, platform shoes, and fake blood, sounds a lot like a Kiss concert!

going into my theatre history exam 🤞🏼

Hey u did not mention anything about comedy which is an important Genre of drama..

I was wondering, at what time between theater being a guy acting out dithyroms and the institution of theater in Athens do people start wrighting plays intended to be acted, rather than acting out dithyroms or epics?

So so helpful! Thanks!!!

Thespis simply asked questions that the chorus would answer. Aeschuylus developed the onkus (masks) when he started adding a second actor.

How many plays did an author have to show at the festival competition?

I dont trust my theatre notes so I'm watching this instead

Hahahaha English topic
