Description

This groundbreaking study reexamines the chorus in ancient Greek drama, moving beyond the conventional view of static, reflective performers. The book reveals how playwrights employed the chorus as dynamic actors and physical performers through four distinct choreographic strategies: fragmentation, augmentation, interruption, and interactivity. Rather than assigning the chorus a single formal role as Aristotle and subsequent scholars have done, this work demonstrates the group's genuine flexibility and complex involvement in the theatrical action. By analyzing how the chorus functioned across tragedy, satyr play, and comedy, the author illuminates roles long obscured by traditional dramatic theory. Essential reading for students and scholars of ancient theatre, performance studies, and classical literature seeking to understand the chorus as an integral, multifaceted element of Greek drama rather than merely a lyrical interlude.
