"History report" for my Art class--ideas?
This is our assignment:
Choose a topic specifically related to the physical existence of some aspect of live entertainment or ritual between the beginning of time and 1980. The topic can relate to theater architecture, stagecraft, costume, lighting, special effects, sound, concessions, mechanical aspects or front of house [FOH]. Your report can examine an object or invention from a past time or it can address a production issue relations to a specific play or production from a past time. Choose something that interests you.
Anybody have ANY ideas?! I don't even know where to start!
Just pick a physical thing to do with old theater that interests you and write about it:
Costumes of men playing women's parts
Theaters in the round
Open air theater
Greek chorus' use of masks
Use of black face makeup in Vaudeville
