Why do we need theatre?
Fri, 15 June 2001, 01:46 pmMy name is Renee, and I am studying Drama as part of the HSC. For my individual project in this subject, I will be doing a research report, which will focus on the research of theatre itself, and on the question "Why do we need theatre?"I was wondering anyone would be interested in answering some questions, as I am looking at gaining a broad perspective, from a range of people, in a range of fields. These questions would include:
What is theatre?
What is it's purpose?
What do we value about theatre?
How is it affected by film and TV?
Is Film and TV a form of theatre? Why or why not?
Is sport theatre? How does this effect live theatre?
How is theatre surviving in the 21st Century?
How do you get more people to see it?
If there is anyone out there who'd be interested in answering these questions, I'd really appreciate it!!
Thanks!
P.S. You can be completley honest - I'd really like to know what you think!

Renee,
I am currently studying a Graduate Diploma in Education at Edith Cowan. My major areas of teaching are Drama and Media.
If you would like an excellent perspective on the arts including drama, media, dance and visual arts I strongly suggest you take a look at the WA Curriculum Council documents we must study as part of our course.
These documents including arts in community, arts and communication, arts and values, arts creativity and satisfaction and arts and life skills.
It then goes on to link these to four arts strands or student outcome statements which form the basis of our teaching.
Visit www.curriculum.wa.edu.au and click on publications and then curriculum framework. There you will see a pdf document titled "Learning area statement for the arts" download this file.
This should give you some good foundation knowledge into why we have drama and theatre.
Good luck.
Cory.
