Street Theatre
Street theatre is a form of theatrical performance and
presentation in outdoor public spaces without a specific paying
audience. These spaces can be anywhere, including shopping centres,
car parks, recreational reserves and street corners. They are
especially seen in outdoor spaces where there are large numbers of
people. They are also called street plays and in India, they are called NUKAD NATAKS.
The logistics of doing street theatre necessitate simple costumes
and props, and often there is little or no amplification of sound,
with actors depending on their natural vocal and physical ability.
This issue with sound has meant that physical theatre, including
dance, mime and slapstick, is a very popular genre in an outdoor
setting. The performances need to be highly visible, loud and simple
to follow in order to attract a crowd.
