Ch1. The Nature of Theatre
What is performed (script, scenario, or plan) Such events as street carnivals and parades types of theatreA performs B for C Theatre does not require a script, dialogue, or conflictTheatrical entertainments. Whereas others find the essence of theatre to be its capacity to provoke thought or action about significant issues
The Basic Elements of Theatre (1/3)
Theatre’s second ingredient, the performance, is equally complexThe performance takes place in space that can vary from a building A musical involves even more: composer, instrumentalists, singers, choreographer, and dancersPopular musicals as Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, or The Lion King Peter Brook in his book The Empty Space:
“I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage.”
The Basic Elements of Theatre (2/3)
The third ingredient of the theatre is the audience This live three-way interaction is a distinctive characteristic of theatre Off-Broadway and regional theatres with lower costs and ticket pricesThese three elements – script, performance, and audienceResponses to theatre are inescapably varied
The Basic Elements of Theatre (3/3)
Theatre is a form of artNot always comfortable or comforting. It often insists on its right to look at the world in unpopular ways Challenge our ways of looking at ourselves and the standards of the culture
Systematic application of known principles to achieve some predetermined result Divide the arts into two groups, “useful” and “fine”

Theatre as a Form of Art (2/4)
It employs easily recognizable character types, situations, and dramatic conventions, manipulating them with sufficient inventiveness When Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot was first performed in the 1950s, many spectators were unable to relate to a play in which there was no discernible storyline beyond two tramps waiting for someone who never arrived. “Nobody comes, nobody goes. It’s terrible.”
Theatre as a Form of Art (3/4)
Can imagined experience be a way of knowing and understanding?
“All the world’s stage, / And all the men and women merely players.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge called a “willing suspension of disbelief” Esthetic distanceThis feeling of involvement is sometimes called empathy
Theatre as a Form of Art (4/4)
Art is valuable for its capacity to improve the quality of life – by bringing us pleasure, by sharpening our perceptions, by increasing our sensitivity to others and our surroundings, by suggesting that moral and societal concerns should take precedence over materialistic goalsOne purpose of this book is to affirm the value of theatre
