Approach
- Individually, but keeping in mind that you are part of a community, read the following text:
Theater reflects everyday problems and has traditionally aimed to move audiences deeply,triggering an emotional release known as catharsis. This process was believed to cleanse repressed feelings, which were thought to contribute to bad morals. Over the centuries,however, theater has also evolved to highlight,critique, and denounce social issues. It has the power both to move audiences deeply and to foster profound reflection.
In assembly, reflect on the various reasons why theatrical representation is used less frequently as a tool to highlight community problems.
Read the causes identified in the following example:
Cause 1:
Theater and the arts are considered a waste of time because writing, staging, and producing a play all require human and material resources,which often do not generate profits for those involved. Additionally, attending a theatrical performance requires individuals to spend their free time at the venue.
Cause 2:
Writing, staging, and producing a play are viewed as complicated, since they require specialized knowledge that many people feel they lack.
- Individually, and keeping in mind what the community has shared, write a reflection about why theater is no longer used as frequently.
