Going to see theatre
Mon, 27 Aug 2001, 09:37 amjust somethings i thought of last night:
personally - i do not go to the theatre often. i can't drive myself around and i don't have any money. :-o
is it as important that actors go to see theatre as well as act in theatre(or whatever they want to act in)?
what are everyone elses views on this matter?
i act, sing, dance, play 2 instuments and am involved with a couple of theatre companys as well as help run one.
as a part of learning about the performing arts - should young actors go to theatre to help them learn? does attending theatre make a better actor?
i would love to hear other thoughts!

*I think the point being made was that purely theatrical observation IS a form of vacuum.
Yes- and does art exist there?? Nope. QED.
*But wouldn't you agree that "perception" could be clouded and narrowed if "observed theatre" is not balanced by NON-theatrical observations?
I would. It is this balance that is vital.
*Theatre is often simply a working ground for performers and not necessarily the inspiration. Many artists come to live theatre simply because they have the urge to perform. This urge does not have to be a product of previously observed theatre of any sort.
But how would they know theatre exists without having been exposed to the concept of theatre, at the very least?
I too was a school yard clown. Most on this site will tell I still am... I've just been expelled....
