The Theatre

Theatre has been an evolutionary cultural superpower since the beginning of Greek theatre to the society impacting shows of Broadway. Although theatre is all the same, each social cultural construct twisted theatre into it's own tradition and values. Greek theatre for example used theatre to honor the gods; Dionysus in specific. Compared to Roman theatre where the Romans love to used comedy, and spectacle. Japanese theatre however, has a long rich history and was twisted to the Japaneses traditions

Theatre invites conversations, builds portals between cultures, and reveals the ordinarily unexplored, which is why I cherish every tickling second emerged in the theatre-making process. During my time at NYU, my theatre training points to a direction where I am way too familiar to be a stranger in. Growing up in China, where beauty remains hidden, pain untangled and emotion unspoken of, my physicality had remained a perfect mystery to me. At times of questioning my feelings during my acting training

British theatres One of the world’s major centers for theatre, Britain has a centuries-old dramatic tradition and about 300 theatres. There are several thousand amateur dramatic societies in Britain. The Royal Shakespeare Company performs in Stratford-upon Avon and at the Barbican Centre in London. A modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, close to its original site, is under way. Most cities and towns in Britain have at least one theatre. There are 500 youth theatres in England alone. The Unicorn

I am an actor with a life- long passion for storytelling. I have been enamored with theatre for many years because it is a medium through which I can share stories in the most effective way. Stories have complex ideas and important messages and theatre turns them into memorable pieces. I have found purpose in theatre because it has broadened my understanding of how other people experience life. I learn something new from every play I see, read, and perform in. It is important to me to share this

Euripides explores the nature of theatre through Dionysus’ confrontation with his mortal royal family, who has denied him a place of honor as a god. Euripides employs costume and choral narration to portray Dionysus as a director of his own play and a patron of art, illuminating the spiritually intoxicating and transformative nature of theatre. The prologue introduces Dionysus, setting the scene of the drama while inviting the audience to examine the nature of theatre through metatheatrical elements

Theatre means to the world to me, but, like many of the great things in my life, I didn’t know how much I would enjoy it until I experienced it firsthand. My love for the theatrical world was thrust upon me in high school. The tiny theatre department at my school was producing the Scottish Play and I had told my friends in the department to let me know if they ever needed a goofy chubby kid to stand in the background.  This lighthearted request for inclusion was taken very seriously when the student

When people think of theatre they usually think of acting, directing, and maybe script writers. They would correct, all of those disciplines are part of theatre but there's more to theatre than just that; however, due to personal interests those specific disciplines will be exactly what this essay is about. What most people don't think of when they think of theatre is how much thought is put into it. The different type of methods, not just for acting but, for directing, and script writing as well

The world of theatre arts is a magical place. Being able to take a story and make it come alive lights a spark in my heart. Every story brings a different kind of magic, with different characters, sets, and props. Every show is a change from the last one. The cast and crew list is reposted—a clean slate—with people switching roles like rich women switch shoes. I believe in this change. More specifically, I believe in changing my mind. Since the first day I showed up in Mr. Falch’s classroom in the

chapter one describes to us readers what theatre is. The word originates from Greece, and means “seeing place.” The author then describes the difference between the “hardware” definition and the “software” definition. Hardware describes the building where the play is taking place, where films are shown, and where wars and surgeries happen. The software definition describes the cast, owners, managers, and technicians. The author gives the example of the Guthrie Theatre saying “we are referring not merely

Improvisational theatre, often called improv or impro, is the form of theatre, often comedy, in which most or all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted: created spontaneously by the performers. In its purest form, the dialogue, action, story, and characters are created collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present time, without use of an already prepared, written script. Improvisational theatre exists in performance as a range of styles of improvisational comedy
