I remember my sophomore year I decided to join theatre, mostly to get my fine arts credit. At first I thought these people were all insane. They went above and beyond in creating a character and their world, even if it was for a short scene. When I got involved in my first play, I realized that there is so much more than just putting on a show for an audience. At first I swear I…

necessity of Theatre, the real time performing art, is beginning to be questioned. Despite the claims of the theatre being obsolete, it’s influence penetrates deeper into our existence than many would suspect. Theatre’s social footprint is one of its most recognizable factors; according to the 2012 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), forty-nine percent of adults that recorded some involvement in the arts sat in on either visual or performing arts (USDC, pg.8).

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the exhibit Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced with Music at the National Gallery of Art. But this was not my first experience with this exhibit, no for I had the opportunity to perform in honor of this exhibit this past summer where I performed right outside the entrance the to the showcase. I performed the roles of the Faun in Vaslav Nijinsky’s Afternoon of a Faun, and Prince Ivan in The Firebird. The two performances…

Mistero Buffo was first performed October 2, 1969 outside Milan by Dario Fo (Behan 99). Oftentimes, his performances of Mistero Buffo were with his wife, Franca Rame, who stated that Fo began collecting these pieces seven years earlier.
