I loved to hear about this because people of this time would hire people to come in and draw these amazing pictures. This goes into theatre today because this is like painting sets for a production so this is basically all the illustrations. This is now today's comics cause it could be up 40 pieces for a show. This helped just wrap all of the aspects of the art on to a sheet of silk (paper).

Oberammergau and the Passion Play Tradition

So passion plays have been around in front of us for years and we had never known! They all started in Europe in the 12th Century and some of these are plays we see on Easter and Christmas. These plays had so much meaning and passion on biblical stories at the time!

The stage for Noh is very beautifully designed and I love this so much. This design of stage was constructed from Hinoki (Japanese cypress).

I can say the Medival Theatre and Staging was really on to something here! So if you didn't know the people of the community would get to together and perform these plays on wagons like a parade through the town. I had seen this as a form as advertisement for these people and the craft in the time. In article The Pageant Wagon as Iconic Site in the York Cycle it states, "Characters leave the wagon or approach it as a means of interrupting or re-establishing the iconic moment represented by that pageant. The dramatic effect on the audience derives from that tension: movement away from or toward the site represented by the wagon stage signifies the disruption or reconfiguration of the stasis of the site." I tie this back to NYC for Macy Day parade's when it comes to showing off new shows that are on Bway now and this gets the audience excited for what's to come!! It's super fun how this has evolved and now is the best for what we have in theatre now.

These Chinese Teahouse Theatre's were an excellent choice for stage plays at the time. We learned during class that "Snow in Midsummer" was actually one of the first to be done in a teahouse theatre. When we look at this we see people are eating and watching a show, but we don't see that people would also sleep here. So this impacted the plays that were put on here in class Jay stated, "When people would show up to join the actors would basically give recaps in their inner monologues to the audience to basically catch them up." So now we see a lot of theatre do that today because lyrics hold so much power to inform an audience member of what has happened to this character and the people around him or her.

Stationary staging was a neat and well put together version of the pageant wagons from the century. On the site of Theatericaleffects its states, “Their platforms could hold several actors as well as minimal props such as chairs and tables. The upside: They would attract large masses of audiences in outdoor markets and festivals.” So this was basically the biggest goal for this time doing plays for an audience. We see these stages more often now at like Six Flags, Kings Island, and Kentucky Kingdom.

The Invention of the Printing Press was a big deal I would say for the community at the time to keep up with what was going on and we have to thank Johannes Gutenberg! I would say this would be the greatest thing for Theatre because spreading the word for people in the media. In the text Funding the Theatre its states, "Coverage of theatre in print media , radio and television remains healthy: productions continue to be reviewed, critics continue to dispense their opinions on theatre." So basically with reviews this helps with communication of an audience to come see a show and this funds theatre to keep growing and thriving to have more shows.

Training at the Pear Garden is so fascinating and intensely studied!! The reason I say this is because when we look at theatre today we see Musical Theatre Intensive programs that really focus on triple threat performers and with the pear garden they really focus on all aspects of the performance. According to Long Island High School they believe this helps teens and just people in general start to take this in as work based learning in the article it states, "Musical theatre classes allow students to view music and the arts as a whole as a career, not just a hobby. A school curriculum dedicated to the arts empowers students through work-based learning, essentially showing them what a career in music or performing would be like."

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns organized by popes and Christian western powers to take Jerusalem and the Holy Land back from Muslim control and then defend those gain this is according to World History. I feel this was important for the Medieval times for the religion. I say that because without this they would've lost a lot of the ability to perform out in public and write the plays and poems they wanted.

Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443) was known as important figure for Japanese nō!! When things are passed down like his father's Nō Troupe some changes are for the best. According to Living Theatre it states, " Zeami became the director... He continued to improve nō, borrowing elements of other, earlier, forms of dance." Theatre is always evolving and I think this was a prime of example of how long theatre has been consistently changing to improve and fit communities inside the arts. I feel with Nō Zeami took this troupe over as a collaborative experience without even knowing that.

Li Yu according to Living Theatre, Yu was the first important drama critic. He states, " That a playwright should write clearly, with a mass audience in mind, and should be well versed in practical stage knowledge." I totally agree and understand why Yu would say this because when writing a show you want some way to the let the audience live through the actors on the stage.

I loved reading more Hroswitha because as I read more I learned that she didn't really have a great knowledge for theatre, but she had a great knowledge of her religion to where she could take stories from other people and places and make it wrap around her religion and make these stories fit for the audiences that were around.

Hans Sachs was born November 5, 1914 in Nürberg Germany. He was not only just a poet but he was a mastersinger!! So a lot of his work was genius for the plays because he pulled from his life experience and I feel this help with a lot of pushing material and times for people and according to Britainica it states, "Grief came to him with the loss of his seven children and, in 1560, of his wife. After marrying again in 1561, when he was 66, he resumed his output of cheerful composition."
