Theatre as a part of each generartion.
For me theatre is an art form, that can take on so many variations and characteristics. It can define an idea, within any structure and period of time. There are many forms in which we can describe theatre art: formal, structured, comical or abstract. Theatre has a voice that has an influence on community, culture, and holds on many generations. Theatre helps our community to develop our creativity and human norms. Theatre can work as education system increasing our knowledge in various prospects, and throughout history, the theatre played a significant role as entertainment for people.
The theatre has always been a part of our culture, and each generation either took part in adding something new to the theatre culture. That’s the reason people involve and enjoy watching it. The theatre is a  cultural phenomenon that takes part in every society and generation. Human beings are the only species that can create art and stage the performance. Understanding theatre helps us to understand what it means to be human beings and let us continue to build and create art. Art, in general, teaches humans about themselves and history behind our actions and words. It helps us understand how our minds work.
Art, in general, teaches us how to express ourselves more effectively, while theatre brings more characteristics to it. It develops our ability to communicate through our thoughts and feelings with others, by improving our relationships and improving the world/culture around us. We can learn a lot about people from cultures all around the world by studying their performance which often describes traditions. From observing different cultures and traditions we can become more accepting of others. Each generation involves and brings something new and creative into theatre and culture in general so that the future generations will learn about the history in the past.
From my experience and observation of individuals around me, I realised that we can learn more from listening, watching, and experiencing rather than reading the plays from the books. The theatre is a great way to learn about history. Its environment makes history come alive right in front of us. Theatre makes learning more realisable, exciting and fun and the reason for that is that we can visually observe the outcome of the play and its characters.

Review “The Caucasian Chalk Circle”

Ivan Kapkov IB Literature & Performance Ms. Guarino Review  “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” On Friday 11/11/17 I visited a play that was adapted by my classmates. The name of the play is “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” by Bertolt Brecht written in 1944 while he was living in America. Interesting fact about the performance is that it was initially made for Broadway, but the play didn’t go that far so students started presenting it in their schools and colleges. The play was initially translated by Eric Bentley. This play is based on the aftermath of WWII, in which the “villagers” are complaining on who will control the valley . This play focuses on an act of true love and courage performed by a servant girl named Grusha Vachnadze and how she is judged by society regarding to her choices. There are two parts of the story: Part I is the story of Grisha's lifestyle and the difficult choices she must make to survive with the baby, while Part II follows and explains the care...
