Theatre
Theatre is an art form in which performers enact stories, characters, or ideas before an audience, usually in a shared space and time.
Acting: Acting is the art of embodying a character or situation through voice, movement, and behavior. Performers use acting to make characters and situations present onstage.
Blocking: Blocking is the planned movement and positioning of performers during a stage production. It organizes how actors move through theatrical space and relate to one another.
Ancient Greek theatre: Ancient Greek theatre was a performance tradition that developed in Greek communities, especially Athens, during antiquity. Its festivals and dramatic forms strongly influenced later accounts of Western theatre.
Film: Film is a visual medium that records or constructs moving images for presentation to an audience. Unlike theatre, film typically fixes performances into an edited, repeatable sequence.
Political theatre: Political theatre is performance that addresses political power, institutions, or social conflict. It uses theatrical form to stage political ideas and contest public narratives.
Playwriting: Playwriting is the composition of dramatic works intended for performance. A written play can supply theatre with dialogue, characters, and dramatic structure.
Rehearsal: A rehearsal is a practice session in which performers and production teams prepare material for presentation. Repeated rehearsal coordinates acting, movement, design, and timing before performance.
Dionysia: The Dionysia was an ancient Greek festival honoring Dionysus, featuring dramatic competitions in Athens. The festival provided a civic and religious setting for the development of Greek drama.
Opera: Opera is a form of musical drama in which singing is central to the presentation of a story. Opera overlaps with theatre but gives sustained musical performance a defining role.
Censorship: Censorship is the suppression or restriction of expression by authorities or other controlling institutions. Theatre's public speech has repeatedly faced restrictions on what may be performed.
