Please include the following in your assignment submission:

A. The type of theatre you chose (for example, Kathakali).

B. Stage type: arena, thrust, proscenium, other (please specify what the other type is) 

C. Visual elements you noticed (such as scene design, lighting design, costume design, props)

D. Aural elements you noticed (music, instruments, actors’ voices)

E. Is the play more lifelike (resembling reality) or more theatrical (exaggerated and whimsical) in nature?

F. How does it stimulate your senses?  How does it make you feel?  Which elements contribute to the mood the performance creates?
