3. Theatre


Theatre is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music or dance. Theatre is a way to send message to large amount of audience in live show.  

There are many types of different theatre all over the world and centuries. The theatre happens to entertain the public. At the old times, theatre is always playing the stories of legend or real event that once happen. Theatre happens to spread stories all over the public, people enjoying for the theatre play. And the theatre works like a television and drama that what our modern life has. But the different is, theatre is works with a lot of people on a stage, a live show stage. Everybody will go have a sit and watch the theatre. A theatre not just working with people, sometimes it would be a shadow puppet or dolls, as long as it plays for storyline or drama.

And theatre is already a kind of jobs in the old centuries. It is a money earning way for people. It works like what our video production industries now, but they go around places and play their theatre and earn some money from the crowd. And the actor is about same like what we are now, those who can perform well always popular around all places.

Theatre has different types of categories, and there is Drama, Musical Theatre, Opera, Comedy and Tragedy. Each of them works different way but have same purpose, to convey some message to the audience but in different ways. Example like drama is showing a performance that has a storyline. Actors act on the stage with emotion and speech. While, musical theatre is just performing music to the audience. But both of them are convey message, drama tells story and give information that what happens inside the story. Musical theatre plays the music, and let the audience feels the flow of the music, information are not directly convey but having audience’s attention to feel it.

Still, theatre is not working as well as multimedia now. Multimedia has more influences and large amount of audiences, since it is all over the world right now. So, theatre is more treasured by peoples. People who treasured it know the value of theatre. But, theatre is still also happen when there is some kind of event held. That when people are trying to make a story to performs in live.

They might be get the news and information from some media like
newspaper, magazine, books and so on.
But still some of them are able to follow up and use the latest technologies.

As for the older age group.
They are hardly to follow the changes of technologies.
What media they can use is which of those they know how to use.
Mostly they are listening to radio, watch the newspaper and books,
using home telephone for communication and so on.
And then, there is Household group.
What media will a family household use?

To communicate in distance, because there is different ages people
in a household group,
family member will use the common way which all of them are able to use.
