Placed adjacent to temples of nature and of the fertility god Dionysus, the orchestra was used for dramatic performances, which, together with a procession and sacrifice, composed the annual spring festival of the god.

Greek theaters had large semicircle amphitheaters for the audience and could be built into a hill.  In the center of the amphitheater is an orchestra.  Behind the orchestra is the skene which served as a place for actors to change masks and costumes. Passages were also frequently used in Greek theater to aid elaborate entrances and exits for the chorus.
