Bachelor [Communication - Theatre Studies] From Capital University

Theatre always has been a collaborative art. The playwright, the director, the designers, the technicians, the actors and – finally – the audience, all function together to create a work of theatre. The art involved in such work is obviously quite important. Here at Capital, we also value the communication that must take place between the various artists and the audience to create dynamic art.  

Shakespeare wrote that the purpose of theatre is to “hold a mirror up to Nature.” What is reflected depends on the mirror and the angle at which it is held and viewed. The reflection might be comic or tragic. It might sing and dance, speak ancient truths, or sound as fresh and searing as last evening’s news. In any case the theatre artist and audience must look in that mirror. We need to see what is reflected. Perhaps we will see – and learn about – ourselves.
