part1

pretend that a Martian has come to visit and says, “I know you Earth People have something called ‘theatre.’ What is it?”

Define theatre for that Martian. You may do so in a paragraph or in bullet points, but don’t just point to examples (“Rent is theatre.”). For this exercise, use whatever knowledge and experience of theatre you have — you do not need to look anything up (not even in the dictionary). Write your paragraph or list

part 2

After posting your initial response to the Martian’s question, viewing the film clips on the What is Theatre page, and reading Three Actor-Audience Relationships, discuss the ways in which the clips and reading lead you to modify your definition of theatre (if they do). As always, be specific in your references. Talk about how the clips and reading either solidify your suggested definition or suggest the need to make changes in what you said (and if you do want to make changes, talk about what you would change, and why). There is no “right” answer for you to “get;” just respond honestly in a 250-350 word posting that demonstrates good writing skills: well-constructed sentences and paragraphs, sufficient evidence to support your statements, and a logical progression of thought from beginning to end
