Blog--What is theater

Consider the following questions as you write your post: What is theater, in your opinion? What makes it good to participate in, to perform, or to watch? Why do people do theater or watch it or like it? Why do YOU? What aspects of theater are most important for performers to learn and think about? In your experience, what is easy and fun about theater and what is challenging?

In my opinion, theater is a place for audience to have a extraordinary experience by viewing performers or actors act out the journey which was written by a playwright. It also gives actors a stage to show their talent and win fame. 
Unlike a cinema, audience just stay their and watch movies, in the theater plays were performed by real people in front of the audience. Because they are real people, it is easier for the audience to participate or get into the play.
Also, a theater is made specifically for audience to see a play, so the view is better in theater compared to the audience who watch the play on TV. Furthermore, a theater has a better atmosphere, so the audience could hear the voice and sound clearly. 
For the audience, it has a lot of professional settings on the stage that the audience can use. Take stage lighting as an example. In a theater it has different kinds of light. When the actors are doing monologue, stage lighting can help them to create the specific atmosphere for that monologue. 
People go to theater to watch a play because of several reasons: the view it gives, the experience it provides, and the creativity it has. Because actors are really close to the audience, audience can sometimes get the feelings from the audience, or they can notice on many details in the play. Also, theater presents a good atmosphere; by watching the play inside of a theater, audience will have a better experience. The last reason is that when people are watching a play, their creativity can flourish; because every play is a total different journey to the magical world. I like the theater just because of the atmosphere it creates, and I can hear actors' talking and orchestra's performing easily.
Talking about the aspects of theater, actors should learn about the staging, the scripts and themselves. By learning about staging, actors can know about the basic, fundamental information. By LEARNING the scripts, actors will know what kinds of facial expressions they should use, what kinds of body movements they should do. Finally, learning about themselves, they will know how loud they should talk in a theater, or what kinds of character they should pick in order to give audience the best experience. 
For me, the fun and easy thing about theater is figuring out about the staging, about where should people stand, about what kinds of props performers should use. But it is also challenging for me to stand in front of a lot of people to perform; I will feel nervous and i will forget about the scripts. To speak louder in front of people is another problem for me; sometimes I am shy to speak loudly.
