Encyclopedia: Theatre

Theatre (or theater, see spelling differences) (from French "théâtre", from Greek "theatron", θέατρον, meaning "place of seeing") is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, mime, puppets, music, dance, sound and spectacle — indeed any one or more elements of the other performing arts. Theatre has been defined as what "occurs when one or more human beings, isolated in time and/or space, present themselves to another or others."^[1] In addition to the standard narrative dialogue style, theatre takes other forms, such as opera, ballet, mime, kabuki, puppetry, classical Indian dance, Chinese opera, mummers' plays, improvisational theatre and pantomime.
