Obviously, my blog has a lot to do with theatre. So I included this photo of an Ancient Greek Theater because it informs you as to how far we have come. But to also remember that those basic techniques the Ancient Greeks created are still used to today and still very effective. I also just happen to love this photo because it shows how much they really had to vocalize to reach their audiences, how little stage they had to work with, and how many people really appreciated the arts and showed up for events such as theatre; and it is still very much loved today. But, we have come so far with technology, costuming, lights, sound and so much more that it has become a LOT more than just this where they put on simple masks and only had 2-3 people on stage speaking (not including the chorus). Again, I chose this photo because I think it is informative of the history of this beloved art but it also helps us to appreciate what new technology we have to improve and expand on this topic as well.
