The theater is the one major art form that brings together all the other art forms—from painting and sculpture, to installation art, to music, to dance, to literature, even to computer arts—in a single production. A story is acted out on stage (or other performance area) by actors portraying the characters, bringing them to life and developing the plot through dialogue and actions, and sometimes through song and/or dance.
Contributing to the vivid theater experience are the stage sets and props, the lighting, the background music and sound effects, the costumes and accessories. In recent decades, computer generated visual effects and mechanized sets have been incorporated as well. All of these components draw from the various art forms and call upon the artistic skills and techniques that you have been exposed to over the last three quarters.
In this fourth quarter, you will get to experience the complex and exciting process of mounting an original performance together with your classmates—combining most, if not all, of these skills and techniques.
