Greek arts of the theater

The Greeks had inhabitants excelling in all the classes of commerce and had a habit to excel in their respective fields regardless of any pressures appear they. Although they would know the Greeks to be great soldiers and athletes were also good in artistic fields such as theater, ceramics and philosophy. Athens was the scholastic epicenter of old Greece and was named after the goddess of the wisdom, Athena. The theaters of Greece prospered during 500-300 A.C that has an effect in arts of the theater until this date.

The theater was symbolized by two masks that represented the masks used during comedy and tragedy. Also they represented the dual nature of the life. The tragic mask had a painful one and the expression of mourning and the mask of the comedy had an expression cheers and smiling.

The festivales were carried out to honor the arts of the theater. Every year in the theater of the Dionysia named after Greek God of the wine and the Dionysus fertility, the festival was carried out by ten days to satisfy the Gods. Writers and poets all to over of frunce Greek to be realized. The schedule consisted of the games based on tragedies or the comedies that were followed by a short farce. It was of the poetry of Aristotle. He wrote the songs, well-known like dithyrambs, to God Dionysus of the praise outside that tragic histories began developed.

In 500 A.C., another art of the theater was shortage by Thespis. It only implied agent who played several roles using diverse masks to distinguish between the characters. Except him there were narrators and commentators in the stage with which the used agent to collaborate. This type of arts of the theater was recognized like tragedy that meant the skin of the goat in Greek. It was named after the event to sacrifice the goat to Gods or after the skin of goad used by the executants. The competitions were lead in festival in the theater of the Dionysia. Thespis was the first Greek agent met the classic one.

Aeshylus, in 471 A.C., introduced the games that had two agents who reciprocally built with one to use dialog. To Sophocles in 468 it presented/displayed a third agent A.C and the diagrams thus got to be also complicated. But each agent had to decree diverse characters that used the mask therefore. The masks were so great that it covered the whole face with the agent including his hair. The mask was carved with taken care of because that one increased the audibility of the voice of the agent. These masks were made outside the linen or the cork, of which it is the reason for which the archeologist could not find a sign of them. The carved statues and the represented agents the paintings that used the mask this were how was collected. The supports were not still were checked of the use because the size of the theater was so great, he diminished the visibility of the spectators seated in higher levels. In order to compensate this, pantomima was used by the agents. This also meant that the agents used the shining dresses and noisy maquillaje to attract the attention of the hearing. Along with that one the agents used great shippers of high heel and gloves to make them more alive visible. Histories not only turned around Dionysus but also they were based on other Greek mythological characters.

The structure of the theater at that time was well-known like Theatron. Abrir-they were ventilated and constructed in the hills whereas the adjustment that was becoming for the spectators was under the form of ascending circles. The theaters were designed such that the voice of the executants could reach to the based hearing more discharge. In the theater in Epidaurus one can hear the sound of a fallen bolt of the highest row. The three essential elements of the theater, in Greece, were the orchestra or the platform, in those who the operation was done, the Skene, was a building that acted because between frames as well as the bottom of the game and the past element is the hearing.

The hearing and the executants in all the theaters were only men as at that time they considered the women to be the pisoteadas sects. The agents as well as the refrain could speak dialog or still to sing as it is necessary. The detailed suits and the enormous mask were used whereas they decreed the papers and were the registered tradename of the Greek theater.
