About the subject Theatre Acting

Theatre acting can be a hobby or a method of fulltime employment, there are hundreds of opportunities to use skills acquired through acting, whether it is for live productions, skits, television, or dance.

Theatre acting is a specific area of acting that is sometimes also referred to as the perfoming arts and involves live performers, actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience – often on a stage. The performers may choose to communicate the experience in a variety of ways and there are different schools of acting to support each one, be it through gesture, speech, song, music or dance.

It is believed the origins of theatre acting lie in Ancient Greece and in particular the city-state of Athens. In those times it was part of a broader culture of theatricality and performance that included festivals, rituals, politices, law, athletics, music, poetry, weddings, and more.

Today, theatre acting is usually split into one of five types: drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy, and improvisation.

Why learn Theatre Acting?

Unless embarking on some form of silent acting, oral communication skills are one of the first areas to develop on stage. Acting can be empowering, and as a result, it helps develop confidence that is essential to speaking lucidly, powerfully, and thoughtfully.
