ThePhan: When we had to read Medea for theater history, a group of us got together and read it out loud.
ThePhan: There were all these little notes next to the chorus' lines: "Strophe" and "antistrophe."
ThePhan: We looked them up and discovered that the strophe means that the Greek chorus chants as it moves from right to left across the stage, while in the antistrophe, they move left to right.
ThePhan: From then on, every time we read those lines, we'd all pretend we were dancing whichever direction we were supposed to.
ThePhan: It made the long chorus monologues so much more entertaining.
ThePhan: We could have tap dancing strophes and antistrophes.
LaZorra: That would be amazing.
Sentynel: Is a catastrophe what happens when half the chorus is doing a strophe and the other half is doing an antistrophe?
ThePhan: LOL LOL LOL
ThePhan: YES
LaZorra: *snerk*
