Practicing oral delivery of lines. We’ll try two different exercises:
- First, we will read through one Chorus passage, reading one word at a time, in a circle. This will help with careful reading of lines, and force you to think about inflection;
- Second, we will practice lines between Antigone and the Chorus at a distance, to help you work on projection.
We will spend a few minutes revisiting the google sheet, on which students should report out their source information on the Greek myth project (annotated bibliography)
