Blog #8

The Epidauros theater was a vehicle for the communal expression of religious belief through music, poetry, and dance. This obviously sounds familiar, as we have such things today. We use theaters and stadiums for entertainment events, and they are all more modern versions of the Epidauros theater if you think about it. I think that beyond just the architectural connection, we can connect our lives to ancient people. We too enjoy live music, plays, dance, and poetry just as people hundreds of years ago did too. Its kind of crazy to see how these traditions and passtimes have affected generations to come.
