Exploring the art of Theatre
“I am your audience, and you are mine” We are all learning together
Coming into theatre I knew I was going to be very nervous to act in front of others! I had never taking theatre and thought I would suck, hearing those word helped!!!!
What I have learned
The Stage The stage is the center of audience attention Many different types of stages: thrust stage: extends to audience on 3 sides
proscenium stage: primary feature if large arch, audience directly faces stage
theatre in the round: situated in center of theatre, audience faces all sides
Don’t stop in the middle of skit or monologue
Don’t come up clueless of what you going to say
Don’t announce mess ups
Acting donts
