Creating Chorus

With three main actors to portray Nurse #1, Nurse #2, and Medea, this left the remaining of the class to be the chorus in this short snippet of Medea. The purpose of the chorus in the play is to provide explanations to the audience and to serve as a group loyal to Medea in a time when she cannot trust her own family. Shivani was put in charge of organizing the chorus members into groups and delineating which actors said which lines. I was placed in a group with Dhara and Jackie. As some of the lines were long, she decided on dividing the lines at sentence breaks to provide variation. Rather than having the audience focus on one group for a block of lines, the audience would be able to move from one group to the next as the lines created this wave onstage within the four different groups.
