Recommended: The importance of theatre and its role in society

When I was younger I was a short, fat, ugly little black girl who got made off for trying to run,who felt uncomfortable in leotards and tights, and who hated swim classes.I found my freedom in books about fairy tales , princesses, and lands of make believe. I finally found who I really was, and who I am today,through theatre.At first, theatre was just an escape for me,a time where I could be anybody I wanted to be and I could run away from who I was and reality.As I got older it became how I expressed self ,how I faced things, and ulitamely a part of me.

Now, I don’t know who I am without my art, theatre has become an essential part of who I am and who I want to become.

The further I have immersed myself in it, I found what truly interest and moves me to do theatre. That is the ability to spark individual change in people and their perspectives. Throughout, high school I kept finding myself doing social justice theatre projects never with intention of doing so. Subsequently, I discovered why theatre and art is so important to who am and why I have an interest in studying it.

    People have dreams of what they want to do or accomplish in life, but usually musical theatre is just pushed into the non-realistic void. It isn’t a dream for me. In the past four years, musical theatre has been clarified as my reality. Musical theatre has been the only thing I have seen myself wanting to do. My first love was The Phantom of the Opera, seeing how I watched it almost every day and it was one of the first shows I saw. Of course, I started doing all of those cute shows in middle school and making a huge deal about it to my family and friends, but I have never felt so passionate about something. The minute I get up on that stage I throw away Riley for two and a half hours and it’s the most amazing feeling! Being able to tell a story

    I went to see Around the World in eighty Days with a very open mind as it was the first professional play I have gone to see and after I left I was absolutely stunned. After experiencing the dynamic magic that is professional theatre I became positive I would never pay to see a film in a theatre ever again. I never thought film actors and stage actors were the same but now I know unequivocally that the two are on separate planets. The vast differences in both planets truly makes one appreciate theatre for all of its’ glory. While I never thought much of or respected actors, and why would anyone; stage actors are true workers, stage actors are true artists, stage actors are actual actors.

    I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of how theater is more than a mere performance, but rather an artform with nuance and depth. My knowledge on theatrical styles has expanded and some of my favorites we have studied in class are Brechtian and Chinese theatre styles. I grew up participating in musical theatre, but never had the opportunity to truly learn the history and details of the craft. After studying RENT, I am inspired by the various possibilities for theater beyond acting, singing, and dancing. Theater can be used for activism or as a form of commemoration. Theater is relevant by communicating issues to the world. Theater is so much more than a dramatic presentation. The theater that I have come to appreciate the most are the performances that relay a greater purposeful message about society amidst the theatricals on

    Self-incrimination is where one makes an act to expose oneself when he or she is being accused or involved in charge of crime. Self-incrimination may happen as a result of cross-examination or voluntarily. Furthermore, privilege against self-incrimination is where the person has the right to not say anything or provide any documents or evidence that may lead to the guilty of the person in a crime.

    The fact that the child begins to do theater does not mean that he will become an actor. Children, in children's theater, do not do theater or learn theater. They play to create, invent and learn to participate and collaborate with the group . The children's theater classes are therapeutic and socializing. Group work, psychomotor exercises and physical contact between classmates are the basis of dramatic education. The theater is an inexhaustible field of fun and education at the same time .
