Week 3

Week 3: What is theater  How do you think theater  as a media form, communicates messages to its audience?

According to Wikipedia Theater is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music or dance. Elements of design and stagecraft are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience

Theater was started since people first gather together to listen someone else tell a story. The modern theater right now much different, their no only telling a story using voice as sound media form their also use music in sound media form,  use life acting as physical media form(body language) , stage environment as media form to like printed media.

How the theater performances give messages to the audience? In my opinion most of the messages communicated directly through the dialogue, their acting the body language, the facial expression give a lot of meaning and only this thing can’t deliver the story to the audience.
