invisible theatre
the audience doesn't know that they are watching a performance. the people don't know that they are watching a scene that is being preformed.
forum theatre
audience is asked to bring ideas to the performance to solve a problem that is being presented, to make the actor improvise.
image theatre
not based on dialog more based on images that are shown and what is symbolically shown. Movement, music and ensemble to make everything appear more powerful.
legislative theatre
political and government based performances
rainbow of desire
A actor with many layers, hard to see through, or many different perspectives on one point.
