Question

advantages and disadvantages of theatre​

Answer 1

Answer:

Theater is more intimate and immediate generally. It comes with the thrill that every performance is new and anything could happen. It gives the actor the feedback of the audience’s applause, laughter, and breathless anticipation. In theater, more esoteric topics can be explored without the burden of having to pay back millions in production costs. And there are more advantages: the very limits of theater present challenges for both the artists’ and audiences’ imaginations. The downsides include that live performance is not permanent; it is gone as soon as it is delivered. Mistakes can’t be fixed as in film. The audience size, generally and relatively, is much smaller than that of film or TV. Also, the director can control the view and other elements: moving in for close-ups, adding sound and CGI, and film/TV is not bound by the physical limits of theater: the camera can literally go anywhere: desert, ocean, outer space. For the actor, the process comes in a jumbled vacuum of no audience feedback, scenes filmed piecemeal, repetitiously and out of order; but also with the naturalism the close camera makes possible. There are more disadvantages, as well. These are the one’s that immediately come to mind. I hope I answered the question you wanted me to.
