What are three types of theater?

Answer 1

Types of Play

Motor/Physical Play

Motor play provides critical opportunities for children to develop both individual gross and fine muscle strength and and overall integration of muscles, nerves, and brain functions. Recent research has confirmed the critical link between stimulating activity and brain development. Young children must have ample opportunities to develop physically, and motor play instills this disposition toward physical activity in young children.

Social Play

A variety of opportunities for children to engage in social play are the best mechanisms for progressing through the different social stages. By interacting with others in play settings, children learn social rules such as, give and take, reciprocity, cooperation, and sharing. Through a range of interactions with children at different social stages, children also learn to use moral reasoning to develop a mature sense of values. To be prepared to function effectively in the adult world, children need to participate in lots of social situations.

Constructive Play

Constructive play is when children manipulate their environment to create things. This type of play occurs when children build towers and cities with blocks, play in the sand, construct contraptions on the woodworking bench, and draw murals with chalk on the sidewalk. Constructive play allows children to experiment with objects; find out combinations that work and don't work; and learn basic knowledge about stacking, building, drawing, making music and constructing. It also gives children a sense of accomplishment and empowers them with control of their environment. Children who are comfortable manipulating objects and materials also become good at manipulating words, ideas and concepts.

Fantasy Play

Children learn to abstract, to try out new roles and possible situations, and to experiment with language and emotions with fantasy play. In addition, children develop flexible thinking; learn to create beyond the here and now; stretch their imaginations, use new words and word combinations in a risk-free environment, and use numbers and words to express ideas, concepts, dreams, and histories. In an ever-more technological society, lots of practice with all forms of abstraction - time, place, amount, symbols, words, and ideas - is essential.

Games With Rules

Developmentally, most children progress from an egocentric view of the world to an understanding of the importance of social contracts and rules. Part of this development occurs as they learn that games like Follow the Leader, Red Rover, Simon Says, Baseball and soccer cannot function without everyone adhering to the same set of rules. The "games with rules" concept teaches children a critically important concept - the game of life has rules (laws) that we all must follow to function productively.

Answer 2

This question most likely refers to the three types of physical arrangements of audience to performance area. They are:

Proscenium: This is the most common arrangement in American theatres. The performance area is wholly in front of the audience, separated by an invisible "fourth wall," where all audience members are one side of the wall, and the performance space, or stage, is on the other side. The audience members essentially look through the invisible wall to see the action on the other side. The physical arch that frames this invisible wall is called a proscenium arch, or simply a proscenium.

Round (also called "Theatre in the Round"): The stage is arranged in the center and audience members surround the stage on all sides.

Thrust: The audience surrounds the performance space on three sides, and the stage is, hence, thrust out into the audience area.

Many American actors find it challenging to work in the round or thrust arrangements initially, since proscenium theatres are so common and therefore, many American actors have most of their training and work experience in proscenium theatres, especially early in their careers. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule.

And furthermore, many actors and directors find that thrust and round arrangements have their advantages. For instance, the spatial relationship to the audience is closer and more intimate in many thrust theatres and theatres in the round.
