Theatre Theory:
Theatre theory relates to ideas that inform the creation, performance, and presentation of theatre. It encompasses ideas about theatre as
an art form, genre, style, theatre processes, and theatre practices.
An Aspect of Theatre Theory:
An aspect of theatre theory refers to one particular strand of a theatre theorist’s work. It may be an idea, a process, a series of
exercises, a stylistic element, a convention, a technique, or an approach.
Use of sources:
For this task you must consult both primary (the theorist’s own published or recorded words) and secondary sources related to the theatre
theorist and their theories. As well as the more obvious sources (books, websites, videos, DVDs, articles), research may also include live
experiences/encounters such as workshops, lectures, correspondence, or interview with an expert and performances.
Includes research into and understandings of the theorist, the theory, and the context of the theorist’s work. I
