Theatre in my eyes

Theatre is an amazing event. It can be entertaining, informative and innovative. Different members of audience might interpret a performance in different ways, and take different lessons from it. I have been a performer and an audience and have loved being both. The practice of performing in front of a mass of people began a long time back and it has evolved in many ways with time. New technologies and inventions have affected theatre as much as any other area, and theatre now has become more sophisticated and multicultural than ever before. The technologies like television and internet were thought to make theatre unpopular or even perish. But nothing proved to be as gratifying as live theatre, which won against all the new technologies.
I have watched some breathtaking performances both on television and live, but have never got goose bumps after watching any performances that was not live. I think, the fact that something is happening in front of one, right there and then, is what makes theatre so awe-inspiring. No matter now big and advanced screen one has, nothing can be compared to watching a performance live. From a performer’s point of view, I would say a theatre is the best place on earth. The joy of performing in front of an audience, and the opportunity to show what I have learnt and what I can do is what makes theatre special for me. I am glad theatre has survived all the modern technologies and I am certain it will continue doing so.
