The theater served as an arena to disseminate cultural ideology to a diverse group of individuals, comprised of immigrants, the working class and American youth. The large scope of the theaters aided in consolidating the different cultural norms that separated rural and urban America during the period between 1905 to 1915.

    Initially I started this assignment by carefully reviewing over the worksheet given to me before the in-class assignment. The assignment was to create a scene with “silent tension” and to incorporate several elements such as a moment of pause. Even though I might not have to direct the scene, I started to think in a sense of how a director might approach this assignment and create a scene. I started to reference the “dead theatre” essay written by Peter Brook. I wanted to create a scene that the audience could emotionally and spiritually relate to.…

    Based on my understanding of the development and purpose of theatre within a culture I believe that theater’s purpose and responsibility in my culture is a way to overcome the struggle black individuals faced, to demonstrate the creativity of art, and to integrate black playwrights into the main stream of American dramaturgy. To begin, blacks used theater as a monument and empowerment to overcome their struggles. Black theatre flourished during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and ’30s. Among these was the Ethiopian Art Theatre, which established Paul Robeson as America’s foremost black actor.…

    Contemporary Australian Theatre playwrights use their plays as a way of exploring the social concerns within society using various techniques and conventions. These dramatic techniques and conventions used alongside the elements of drama help to convey ideas that not only entertain but also engage the audience by evoking their emotions as they find themselves dragged into the characters worlds. The two contemporary Australian plays we had studied in class ‘Fearless’ by Mirra Todd and ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ by Lally Katz, provided us with examples of how the directional choices within this theatre style can create an engaging experience for Australian audiences, but universal audiences. By exploring social concerns in these plays such as mental…

    My Change In Theatre

    Originally, there were various ideals I had for myself in the future, ranging from theatrical involvement to something as simplistic as being a therapist. By the middle of my sophomore year, my dreams to be an actress, although superficial, were now something of a hobby instead of a focus. And what would be the reasoning to that? My change in focus is simply due to being told I need to be more realistic with life, to always have a fall-back plan. I understood that theatre is irrational to pursue when it is difficult to get into shows, living on almost nothing in between the many auditions one would attend.…

    Homeless Theatre Analysis

    Using theatre to help the homeless Homelessness is a huge problem in the United Kingdom, homelessness doesn 't just involve people sleeping on the streets it also encompasses families living in temporary accommodation or in substandard housing. My idea is to devise a piece of theatre using workshops with some people who have gone through or are going through homelessness, once a piece has been devised then a short tour will take the production around schools and areas with higher than normal homelessness. Hopefully this will lead to a greater awareness of the issue of homelessness, a greater understanding by the wider public and leaving vulnerable people with the knowledge to know what to do not to end up like other unfortunate people. What are the needs of Homeless people?…

    What does theatre mean to me? As I review the questions provided for me to include in my goal statement, I feel lucky to express how theatre is unique to me and how I structure my everyday life around the dramatic arts. Anytime I act, I relish in the opportunity to be a leader, to help people, and to accomplish my actions with confidence. I started off with this philosophy at an early age and have not forgotten about it since. In my opinion, acting is not solely about the individual’s performance, but about how an individual actor can use their confidence and passion to impact other actors, enhance a production, and inspire the audience.…

    Classical Hollywood and neorealism are two important movements that have equally influenced the development of filmmaking. They both engage the audience into the film but their narrative conventions do differ from each other. The significance of the location and actors used differentiates the two approaches; as neorealism focuses on portraying reality by avoiding the glimmer of Hollywood stars and mise-en-scène. This allows neorealism to express the natural occurrences in life and the social issues of its time. CHC is known to use continuity editing to produce a naturalistic flow in its narrative to engage the audience in the film, but neorealism avoids these techniques because they simply illustrate an illusion of reality.…

    Why Movies Are Not Real

    I believe that we can learn from watching movies, because our life is one big movie. From the time you are born rom the time you die your life can be depicted as a “movie” so to speak, because a movie is nothing more than a depiction of someone’s life situations. Growing up I was always told “movies are not real” but indeed they are. Our lives are movies in themselves just in different scenarios and settings. I know that movies can be “far-fetched” and over exaggerated but if you dumb it down a little you can see the clearer picture.…
