Theatricality is a concept. It's not a specific language.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.
Characterization is integral to the theatrical experience.
The language of film is further and further away from the language of theater and is closer to music. It's abstract but still narrative.
Everything has its own kind of theatricality and its own drama.
The word 'theatrical' makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural.
The theatre is like a Catholic Mass of language.
Theater is a verb before it is a noun, an act before it is a place.
Theatre can be so patronising. So often, it's just proselytising for the theatre.
Theater is about language, so characters have to define themselves through language for an audience.
It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.
