What Does Theatre Mean to Me

What is the Role and Function of Theatre in a Regional City? To me, regional theatre means home, something that is part of me and brings culture to where I live. I have lived in 3 different cities in England, each of them being completely different. Personally, I believe that theatre emphasises culture and difference in a regional city. Stephanie Bennett explains ‘The beauty of regional theatre is that the local performances are often raw and visceral in their authenticity’ (2016), this stood out

Theatre. Most people think of drama, that all it does is cause drama. But it is so much more than that. It has changed so many lives and can bring so many people out of their shell. Everyone should and would benefit from taking a theatre class. And i believe it should be a class that every high school and middle schooler should have to take in order to graduate. What is theatre? Most people are blind to what it really is and what it can actually make you feel. It is more than just some people on

The Holy Theatre versus the Holy Grail Within these ramblings I will put forward, with pond-skater like depth, my musings and personal reflections on the reluctant guru, rebel and acknowledged genius of modern theatre Peter Brook and his fabled hand grenade of a 60’s essay ‘The Holy Theatre’. The concept of the Holy Theatre comes from Peter Brook's the Empty Space, in which he separates theatre into four testaments: Deadly, Holy, Rough, and immediate though the lines between said factions blur,

begin to dim until you can barely see what is around you. The smell of butter is in the air as you recline your seat back till you are nearly vertical with the floor. Then a bright light shines in front of you, so massive it is impossible to miss. It is finally starting. The movie is finally starting. There is a significant reason why people occasionally go to the movie theatre to watch a movie rather than just watch the movie at home. Going to the theatre means tons of popcorn, extra comfy seats,

directing, to me, the play was the thing. My mind was focused on the goings on of the stage with limited awareness beyond its borders. It seemed that dealing with the audience was somebody else’s job. If I directed a great play, I thought, people would come and like it. Job done. “Why this play now?” was a philosophical, intellectual question—but not something I really confronted in an educational setting. I have since concluded that community engagement must be a part of every theatre-making process

Theatre History Explained Neil Fraser outlines the history of theatre from Greek and Roman times, all the way through the twentieth century. Fraser makes a claim that theatre truly began in Greek culture with even the Roma’s looking upon that time as “the golden age”. “The Romans looked back on Greek theatre of circa 600BC as a golden age, and we can still make a case for the great plays of that period as having never been bettered.” (Fraser, 2004, pg.5). Some of the more important highlights of

Theatres are place for date nights, or hanging out with friend to enjoy a movie. Staying at home cuddled up with a blanket, a bowl of popcorn, and picking up the newest movie on the way home from family video is another way to enjoy a movie. Most people prefer to watch them at home than online because of new services like Netflix or Hulu. However, watching movies in a theatre compared to watching a movie at home is only a choice you can decide. Many couples go out for date night, and they will go

Children’s theatre is an activity I have positive, first-hand experience in. I have participated in shows and productions in my community and school for as long as I can remember, and I loved every second of it. Since I have a history with the topic, I believed it would be a smart idea to volunteer my time with some sort of children’s theatre organization. I have always known how beneficial children’s theatre has been to me in my own life, however, I will show how everyone’s involvement in community

but I believe it is so much more than that. A leader is a person that inspires people to do good and does good themselves. Due to my extensive volunteer work, I believe that I qualify as a fairly good leader. My outstanding leadership is shown clearly in my participation in community theatre. I have participated in the theatre community at Top Hat Productions, a theatre company located near me, for a couple years. My leadership in this company is shown through my ability to get people involved and
