Theatre practitioner

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A theatre practitioner is someone who creates

dramatist, actor, designer or a combination of these traditionally separate roles. Theatre practice describes the collective work that various theatre practitioners do.[2]

The term was not ordinarily applied to theatre-makers prior to the rise of

poor theatre. Contemporary theatre practitioners include Augusto Boal with his Theatre of the Oppressed, Dario Fo's popular theatre, Eugenio Barba's theatre anthropology, and Anne Bogart's viewpoints.[3]
