Abstract

The definitions of theatre and, less specifically, performance, have been in constant flux since theorists set about trying to create them. Oscar Brockett, in his History of the theatre, opens his text with the statement that "performative elements are present in every society, no matter how complex or how unsophisticated the culture may be" (Brockett, 1). Human beings are constantly performing: in personal conversation, at large social gatherings, as paid entertainers. Acting, and in a more general sense, performance, is truly a part of an individual's life each and every day, and has been throughout time. Fundamental human behaviors have not changed since civilization developed, including the desire for attention.
