Chorus

The chorus lines in Oedipus Rex are a struggle. Its fine when you have your part and you can improvise and tweak the words and no one will know but with chorus you need to get it down word for word and stay on tempo with the rest of your fellow actors. If you dont do those two critical thinks and nail each word you will be left behind while everyone is proceding with the play and you'll stick out like a sore thumb. And another thing with chorus is they are very stylized with their poses. Chorus needs to strike a over done pose on specific words and if you dont then again everyone will know you have messed up because you stick out like a sore thumb. And nobody wil stop and wait for you to get yourself on track.
