PREFACE
This project was given to us by our subject faculty, in this we
have to work toward a perticular inpiration that is the Greek The-
atre drama, and then Based on the given theme, we have to pre-
pare a specific picture of a design of a top / bodice and skirt. We
were also advised to prepare pattern and a test fit for it on any
sutible material of our choice keeping in mind leather flexibility.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Presentation, inspiration and motivation have always played a key role
in the success of any venture.

Firstly, I would like to extend our deep sense of gratitude to our Facul-
ty advisor ( Mr. Sabyasachi Sengupta and Mr. Ashrafi) who guided me
throughout this journey right from the beginning, this not only helped
me patch this project well but also make it a full proof success. He en-
couraged me to the highest peak. And provided me with the opportuni-
ty to prepare this project. His kind supervision, throughout the classes
helped me shape the project as it is show.

Along with it, I also learnt a lot many things about lifestyle of ancient
greek, all about the genres emergance and develop in Ancient Greek,
and many more.
I would also like to thank, the internet resources that helped me re-
search well and I was to complete this project.
PROJECT
BRIEF
From observation and research I have learnt many thing about ancient
greek drama theatre. the things that mostly striked me are the emer-
gence of comedy generes,three time period of comedy old middle and
new, uses of mask during the play. Also in architectures we can see
that they well made with correct measurement. geomerty were right.
Every sculpture and architecture were have very detailed carving. I
have decieded to used these keywords to develop my emsemble.
ANCIENT GREEK
THEATRE
Greek theatre began in the 6th century BCE in Athens with the perfor-
mance of tragedy plays at religious festivals. Nobody knows the exact
origins. The authorities held annual festivals to honor the god Dionysus
to promote peace and community between individuals and neighboring
city-states following the 480BC Great Destruction of Athens. The first
shows were often individual poets acting out their written works. These
shows quickly started to attract large audiences, which subsequently led
to the production of longer scripts and people specifically choosing to act
out certain roles. It wasn’t long before these shows had writers, directors,
and a cast of actors. The Ancient Greek had two different types of plays.
They had tragedies and comedies. Tragedies were sad dramas. They often
didn’t end happily and were a lot more serious than comedies. Tragedies
were closer to modern plays in the sense of format. They had scenes and
it was held like a modern play. Some plays were even musicals. Com-
edies were very different. They were much more informal and funny.
People would go on stage and mock and joke about a well known town
member. Both plays however were held in dramatic festivals in Athens.
Shows would also take the form of competitions for who could create the
best performance. The earliest recorded competition winner was Thespis,
who became known as “The Father of Tragedy.” Thespis is also regard-
ed as one of the founding fathers of drama, which is why we sometimes
refer to modern actors as thespians.
It wasn’t just drama and the theater that took off as Ancient Greece entered
its classical period. The entire civilization went through a “Golden Age,”
where the people were passionate about advancing and creating art, archi-
tecture, literature, monuments, philosophy, and drama. Soon three genres
came to characterize Ancient Greek theater: tragedy, comedy, and satire.
Alongside drama and musical, we can see these genres remain popular in
todays generation and are very much the building blocks of modern the-
ater.
Tragedies were popular because they were the most in-demand stories at
the time. Audiences wanted to see a story that ended with a tragedy or that
had a tragic moral. Tragedies were also often played out alongside annu-
al rituals undertaken by the Ancient Greeks to honor Dionysus. Citizens
would wear masks and sacrifice animals, usually goats while singing dith-
yrambs or performing a tragic poem or play.
Comedies represented ancient Greek’s daily lives and the absurdities that
could happen to them. In contrast, tragedies often were set in the past and
were more likely to include appearances from the gods. Analysis of An-
cient Greek pottery designs suggests that actors have been wearing cos-
tumes and doing silly actions on stage for thousands of years. Archilochus
and Hipponax’s poems contain sexual humor, which might have been an
influence on early Greek comedy. Dionysus was as much the inspiration
for comedy as he was for tragedy. Many songs sung in his honor would
include sexual and phallic imagery references, which would become a reg-
ular feature in comedies.
the development of comedy in Ancient Greece and specifically Athens
can be split into three periods:
1-The Old Comedy,
2- Middle Comedy, and
3-New Comedy periods.

Old Comedy
Saw the actors rely heavily on audience interaction, particularly when
singing the popular songs of the time.

Middle Comedy
Saw a reduction in interaction between the actors and the audience. At
this time, comedy also developed to become more general in terms of the
situation being funny, rather than humor and shame being explicitly di-
rected at the character – or sometimes the actor!

New Comedy
Was the Ancient Greek equivalent of a modern sitcom. Writers intro-
duced narratives to frame stories for audiences beyond what they saw
acted out on stage. Elements like prologues were also used to set the
scene so that an audience would get a story but with only part of it told
through performance. Aspects of strong emotions such as love and hatred
were used in a comedic setting for the first time. Satire emerged from
tragedy and quickly became popular.

Ancient Greek satire was a mix of comedy and drama, sometimes re-
ferred to as a tragicomedy. Ancient Greek satire would rely heavily on
sexual themes and topics such as drunkenness and is meant to get a lot of
laughs from the audience.
Ancient Greece was home to some of the best architects of the time.
They were continually learning and developing their buildings. The
theaters of Ancient Greece are a marvel to behold. Their remains are
among the most popular tourist attractions in the country to this day.

Open-air Theaters
Many of Greece’s cities were built on hills, meaning the seating for the-
aters could be built into the natural slope. They also were often outside,
giving them the name “open-air theaters.” The seating all pointed down
towards the stage or the “theatron” as it was called at the time.

The Tradition of Masks in Ancient Greek Theater

Without the masks, the audience could not hear the actors as well, and
those at the top of the theater could not make out the actors’ facial ex-
pressions. These circumstances saw masks quickly establish themselves
as an art form and a necessity within the theater. The smiling and crying
mask image that we often associate with acting and theater originated
during this time. The happy mask was associated with comedy, while
the crying mask was associated with tragedies.

INTERESTING FACT
STRIKING ME
• The Greek homes were very unique. They were constructed with an
outdoor courtyard. The courtyard was an important area for the Greek.
They used it as an altar to worship the gods. It usually was equipped
with a well for the water.
• Chitin was the name of the clothes worn by the Greek people. It was a
kind of a tunic. The tunic will be fastened using a belt. The common
Greeks wore chitin from wool. The high class people wore the silk or
linen chitins.
• Athens was the central stage in place of the flourishing arts.
• Songs were sung on former in praise of God of wine and lushness, Di-
onysus.
• The three main genres of theater tragedy, comedy, and satire.
• Plays were performed in an open-air theatre with wonderful acoustics
and seemingly open to all of the male populace, women were not al-
lowed.
• The plot of a tragedy was almost always inspired by episodes from
Greek mythology, which we must remember were often a part of
Greek religion.
• The plot of a tragedy was almost always inspired by episodes from
Greek mythology, which we must remember were often a part of
Greek religion.
• Due to the restricted number of actors then, each performer had to take
on multiple roles where the use of masks, costumes, voice, and gesture
became extremely important.
• The prize for the winner of competitions, besides honour and prestige,
was often a bronze tripod cauldron.
• Aeschylus was known for his innovation, adding a second actor and
more dialogue, and even creating sequels. He described his work as
‘morsels from the feast of Homer
• Sophocles was extremely popular and added a third actor to the perfor-
mance as wells as painted scenery.
• Euripides was celebrated for his clever dialogues, realism, and habit of
posing awkward questions to the audience with his thought-provoking
treatment of common themes. The plays of these three were re-per-
formed and even copied into scripts for ‘mass’ publication and study
as part of every child’s education.
• The entire civilization went through a “Golden Age,” where the people
were passionate about advancing and creating art, architecture, litera-
ture, monuments, philosophy, and drama.
• plot devices and other writing tools used by Ancient Greek play-
wrights still apply and can be seen in modern works.

INSPIRATION

After studying about the greek theatre drama, I was very fascinated by the
Emergence of Comedy and use of mask in that time. in comedy actors rep-
resent daily lifes of the persons and make them laugh, due to this peoples
relate this more to their life. in addition I also like the use of mask during
the play. by seeing the architecture and lifestyle of their we can say that
they were vey strict and accurate. Architecture and scuplture made during
that time were very detailed and symmetic, and clean.
CONCEPT

Concept behind designing the basic bodice and skirt in this manner is that
I have to highlight the major culture they follow, how they live and how
they put details to every single object with zero mistakes. Main things on
which I want to focus while making by basic bodice and skirt are symmetry,
proportion, balane, basic details. beacause this are this thinks we can see in
architecture of that time. With all of this I also want to add sustainability as
this is most important thing for todays time.

DEVELOPMENT
MANUAL ILLUSTRATION OF THE EMSEMBLE
DESCRIPTION OF THE EMSEMBLE
I have used curve french dart in the basic bodice because it gives the look
of old greek time in the basic bodice. Where as in skirt I have made pan-
elled skirt, on the front side I have made one panel longer than other and
make it overlap the other panel as we can see peoples at that time during
the play they wear dresses with overlapped panels. To keep the mordern
touch to the ensemble I have kept the skirt short and top sleeveless. I have
added a braided waist belt and hair band to the emsemble with a pairs of
leather boots to give more feel of that time. Keywords that I have kept in
mide while designing the emsemble are geometry, symmetric, overlaping
minimal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MATERIAL

This basic bodice if it will be made in leather it will be of light fawn ani-
line leather sheet.

For now I have used light blue cotton material for the basic bodice and
skirt.

CONCLUSION
By this I came to the end of this project . All study material and descrip-
tion taught to me in class has been very useful in the completion of the
project. This assignment helped me to know about the ancient greek dra-
ma theatre. the things that mostly striked me are the emergence of comedy
generes,three time period of comedy old middle and new, uses of mask
during the play. Also in architectures we can see that they well made with
correct measurement. geomerty were right. Every sculpture and architec-
ture were have very detailed carving. and while making the baasic bodice
and skirt I came to know about many complication. I learn how to stitch
and different terms related to machine. I enjoyed doing this assignment.
