Friday 2nd November 2012 Historical Context


 Today we marked out a huge timeline starting from 500 BC to the present day and had a number of facts relating to theatre, politics and events that have happened through out the years. We had to work together as a group to figure out where these facts would go on the timeline. Testing our knowledge of history and how much we actually know about things in life, theatre wise and general historic events in the world.


It was really interesting because it kinda made me realise how much
i dont really now about where theatre all began and what the foundations were back then to how it has evolved now. It really makes me want to research more into the history and find out what theatre was like 2000 years ago. I thought it was really beneficial and mind blowing to find out all these facts about what greek theatre was like and how they came to perform, to then see what it is now and how much it has changed.


















The 20th century was where the most facts were, it really showed how much we have evolved in the last 10/20 years and how much has changed, including technology; computers, sound and lighting boards, staging. Everything has advanced so much in such a small space of time considering for at least 1000 years everything was practically the same.

I really enjoyed all the information that was given and it really inspired me to get more educated and know the roots of theatre since it's what i want to do, so how can i really appreciate something if i dont know the foundations of which it was made.
