What is Theatre

Consider the following questions as you write your post: What is theater, in your opinion? What makes it good to participate in, to perform, or to watch? Why do people do theater or watch it or like it? Why do YOU? What aspects of theater are most important for performers to learn and think about? In your experience, what is easy and fun about theater and what is challenging?

In my opinion theatre is any type of acting. It can be a movie, or a play or even a skit performed in a classroom. The lines could be scripted or improvised but it all counts ate theatre in my opinion. I think this because in all of these different examples, there are people who came up with an idea, and they are trying to entertain some sort of audience. What makes it good to participate in theatre is that people can create some funny or unique ideas and its fun to try new things in the performing world. I think it is good to perform because it represents a finished product that shows all of the hard work everyone put in to make the performance happen. It is good to watch theatre because it is entertaining or funny. I think people do theatre or watch it because they want to be apart of something that is separate from their daily lives. It is fun to try too be somebody you aren't once and a while. I like theatre because I can create different performance ideas and try them and experiment with my ideas by performing them. Also, I like to work in groups. I enjoy hearing other people's ideas and trying them out as well. The aspects that are most important for performers to learn and think about are to think outside of the box, not be afraid to fail with an idea, and to have fun when performing.In my experience, what is easy and fun is coming up with ideas and working in a group. I find that it is hard to memorize lines because sometimes you mix up the lines or sometimes you might forget them. I also find props to be hard to choose because in theatre the props might have a meaning beyond just the item that it is.
