Origins of Theatre

Theatre has existed since the beginning of time, with celebration, sacrifice, and communication, in order to survive.

Theatre began with early humans. It was there since beginning with things like celebration, sacrifices, remembrance, and most importantly, the vital communication needed for survival, with things such as dances, drawings, and early language. It was also used to begin early intelligence to create the languages we know today, and in addition they told stories to figure out what right and wrong was, starting to form basic emotion through them. In lesson we looked at performing without language, using sign, and celebration to perform how we would depict a discovery such as, fire.

We were in groups of 4 trying to depict how something had been discovered, and most of us were fascinated, where one was against the idea of the new thing. Then we performed how it would be 50 years after with celebration of the discovery.
