Hello rest of the world.
I have a great passion for
theatre; in spectating and in practicing. I'm planning on putting a show together soon but I can't shake this feeling that it's all been done before, if you know what I mean. I've been wondering if there's really any
point to it all what with TV, Film, the Internet
etc. I was wondering what does
theatre means to you, in this day and age?
Oh, and any ideas for the show would be greatly appreciated lol ;-)
It's been just under 3 weeks since I posted this here and I'd like to conclude the topic.
I DID put a show together and it was thanks to all your comments. I used the comments themselves for the show. You inadvertedly created the actual show =)
I actually asked the same question on 11 other internet forums. I gathered all of them together and then read them out as a piece of performance work at a showcase-like thing called '
Showroom' close to my University.
I had enough material for over an hour, but I only had 20 mins max so I had to go through the difficult process of cutting posts out; I'm sorry to those whos posts I didn't use. Many I cut out were brilliant replies, I've saved them all. (my biggest mistake in the show was forgetting to mention this, for which I apologise).
Like I said, this was a showcase, demonstrating new work. The performance was entirely non-profit. I am currently working on putting a show together that will tour small theatres in Cornwall this summer. If the other company members back the idea and we do it, then these comments will defiantly feature in the show if that is ok with the authors. If you want you can join our Facebook group. Just search for "Dave's
House Theatre Company"
So here are the Youtube links for both parts of the recording I made. You guys are the first forum I read from in part 1.
I was surprised the SN 'Actor' hadn't been taken too! I was hopeing to get a post saying "Who'd admit to being an actor here" and was overjoyed when it did come
I'm mostly focused on the performance and directing side of
theatre at the moment, though I tend to do anything and have a history in helping out with tech at school. Most of the forums i've chosen are semi-random. But always knew I'd use this one.
Enjoy, and thank you again
