Hello! So I am not entirely sure what I am supposed to do for this post but here is what I think I was asked for... Funnily enough I feel that our first class involving our obnoxious discussion about, "What is Theatre?" gave us an amazing insight into the link between each topic we studied this semester! That link is...........EVERYTHING WE LEARNED ABOUT THIS SEMESTER HAS BEEN CONSIDERED THEATRE AT AT LEAST SOME POINT IN HISTORY!!! ...I know shocking but it's true! Due to this link I have learned that what theatre actually is definitely comes down to personal interpretation, era, personal opinion, and taste. A strong example of this is me showing my sister Kabuki theatre and her saying, and I quote, "What the f&$@ is this? Do people actually watch this stuff?", after I had just described how wonderful it was. I feel that my opinion of what theatre is has broadened simply because I now know so many different types of theatre from so many different periods in time.

As a closing statement I’d just like to say that I have had a wonderful year with all of you and that this class has been hugely complimented by all of your strong and unique personalities and incites. I could not have chosen a better class or a better to teacher to join and guide me in exploring the history of our crazy career path that is theatre. I Love you All! Break a leg next week! XOXO

  1. Brianne, I agree with the situation you had with your sister. I feel like I can appreciate much more than I would have before this course. Something like Kabuki theatre would have just been ridiculousness to me and a waste of my time, but I can now appreciate a broad spectrum of theatre in various cultures, because I know more about how theatre and culture affect each other.
