Revision as of 22:02, 5 October 2011 by Bearcat (talk | contribs) (categorization/tagging using AWB)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Music Theatre consists of creating a piece of theatre using sound made from body, voice, a musical instrument and even your general surroundings, often in an unconventional and untraditional way.
As Music Theatre is always evolving, its performance is frequently raw, controversial, experimental and original.
However, many existing and more easily defined genres of theatre come under the Music Theatre Umbrella. These include Opera, Musical Theatre, Pantomime, Shakespeare, Artuadian and Brechtian theatre.
Though commonly the word ‘Theatre’ is used to describe a structured performance, when combined with the word ‘Music’ the boundaries become less defined. Therefore anything that uses music with the intentions of providing entertainment could be classed as Music Theatre, and indeed anything that brings theatre to the concert platform.
In these broad terms the genre could also included online channels, beat boxing, performance art, actors playing instruments and even musical artists such as Lady GaGa and David Bowie.
