Through pages 3-6
I would set up the seen as intended, except I would at first keep the scene equally lighted, but then slightly dim the stage and cast a spotlight on the characters described. Everyone would be moving and interacting with anyone in their groups, but once the individual descriptions begin, every character freezes except the ones described at the moment. The freeze/movement will alternate between characters. Each actor would embody the description stated by behaving in their character's manner. As each character is being described, Chorus will be standing in front of the characters with a dimmer spot light on him. Chorus will be underneath an arch, walking and pointing towards each character when he describes them. Chorus's voice will also be used to describe the manner of each character: for Creon Chorus's voice will be strong.
Page 6
The stage is going to darken more in order to create a large contrast between the spotlight on Chorus, and the stage. While the spotlight is on Chorus, the characters will leave promptly and quietly one by one. Once all the characters have left, Chorus will leave through the left arch and the spotlight will turn off.
