Book: Theories of the theatre, Marvin Carlson (expanded edition)
Quotes:
- " Although theatre has been the subject of speculative inquiry ever since the Greeks, there is by no means a general consensus (perhaps less today more than ever) as to just what constitutes or ought to constitute the body of critical theory devoted to this art" p.9
- "Observations on theatre will be embedded in or related to observations on other arts or on all art, and so theory is involved with aesthetics" p.9
-"Defining a body of material arises the problem as there are a variety of modes in which theatre theory has been developed" p.10
Jen suggested looking at turning some of these readings into drawings. I liked the first quote as it suggests theatre does not have to be a psychical performance.
