Theatre Theatre is the imitation/representation of life, performed for other people; the performance of dramatic literature; drama; the milieu of actors and playwrights, the place that is the setting for
dramatic performances. Here are found sites and categories that focus primarily on interpretation and style of the production, direction, performance, and stagecraft, or the effectiveness of the performance itself, as well as the building or buildings in which plays are produced and offered for viewing by an audience, and the dramatic arts and the people who work in, advocate, or study them.
(less...) Venues Information on places that offer dance, opera, theatre, music, storytelling or other forms of the performing arts.
YouthJuggling The art of keeping 3 or more objects in the air at the same time. Jugglers tend to do more than just juggle though, so a lot of the other things jugglers do are included,
like devil sticks, diabolos, cigar boxes and more...
(less...) Mime There is no universally accepted definition of mime. The art has evolved throughout its history, dating back to the origins of theatre itself, so any definition is partly dependent on historical
context. Different styles of mime exist today, so definitions also vary from one "school" or practitioner to another. There are also several other performing arts that are, or have been, associated with mime at one time or another, which further confuses the issue. Considering these factors, then, this category will use the characteristics common to most definitions, but in practice will distinguish mime from both other arts that also fall under this definition—but are more specific in their own definitions, such as dance, clown, mask, etc.—and the larger groupings known as physical theatre or movement theatre that may include mime combined with other arts. As the terms mime and pantomime are so often used interchangeably, they will be treated as synonymous except in the case of English Pantomime, which will have a sub-category of its own. The working definition of mime for this category will be: The dramatized representation of life, performed for an audience, in which the primary means of the actor's expression is physical, and where this physical expression takes significant prominence over verbal expression.
