This is the first post on the blog designed to help you with your Theatre through the Ages Homework task.
What do I need to do?
Create a presentation (a power -point will work well) on all the different time periods and genres of theatre history from Greek Theatre through to our current Contemporary style.
Why are we doing this and what am I learning?
It's really important for you as a Drama student to understand the origins of where certain theatre practises and styles came from and how different genres link together. It also gives you a greater knowledge base on which to refer to during practical and written work.
What should I research and write about?
It's up to you to decide what key points you want to include and what you think will help you in the future but here are some ideas.
Greek Theatre
Medieval Theatre
Renaissance Theatre
Commedia Dell'Arte
The Restoration
20th Century Theatre and beyond - Pantomime, Victorian Melodrama, Naturalism, Political Theatre.
Below is an example of the sort of information you need to include.
