What Is Theater? Crash Course Theater #1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2018
- Welcome to Crash Course Theater with Mike Rugnetta! In this, our inaugural week, we're going to ask the two classic questions about theater. 1.What is theater? And 2. Is it spelled -re or -er? Well, there's a clue to question two in the title of the video. The first question is a little trickier. We'll look at some of the historical definitions of theater, and investigate some of the ways people have thought about theater in different times and places in the world.

I was really looking forward to performing this unit :(
Bold of you to assume my class wasn't already online XD
Me 👋🏿
For me it's English Literature
😂😂 definitely
anyone here cause they gotta do class online
yeah man
75/10, keep these coming. Theater is one of the most underappreciated but important art forms in the modern world, and I can't want to see how you cover the field.
Your voice is amazing Mike.
Miss Houston yeah i agree
AHH!!! I am SOO excited for this series!!! It’s AMAAAZING so far!!!!
Can you guys do Crash Course music???? That would be so cool!
I'm a simple guy; I see Mike Rugnetta, I smile.
same. he's my favorite
The screeching of a thousand theater nerds echoed around the world today.
YEEEEEESssssss

*hundred thousands

Anja Mook Hello there!
BLAKE BENNETT Haha, good to see you get the reference.
As a theatre practitioner and educator, I find myself holding back so many positive emotions when I find content like this (that is content that reestablishes theatre as a valid art integral to the human experience). You guys at Crash Course are sent straight from the theatre gods! Bravo!
I would just like to say that durning quarantine watching this is my theatre homework.
Crash course does an incredible job bringing on hosts, this is only the second series I’ve started without hank or John but both hosts have been so incredible and engaging. Can’t wait for more episodes!
This is already answering some questions I had. Thanks, Mike!
Mike, I love the way you pace your words. I find sometimes in SciShow and CrashCourse the editing is so tight there's no real beat between sentences or even topics. But the way you pace your words makes all of your videos much easier to understand than those of other hosts.
THANK YOU. I'm doing a school project about the evolution of theatre and drama, stumbled upon this video and oh my god my life became so much easier
I've never been more excited for a Crash Course series! I've been obsessed with theatre since I was 4 and am a HUGE dramaturge. I'm so excited to learn about theatre history, theatre theories, and hope we get into acting theory (Stanislavsky, Uta Hagen, Misner, etc) Break a leg Mike and Crash Course team!!
Thoth is here? And a story about Ares cleverly disguised as "Theatre"? Mike you sneaky man this is Crash Course Mythology Season 2!
And Dionysus in the begining. Clever boy...
theatRE or theatER???
Let me break this down.
-American English: theater
Note that modern English (that we use today in the 21st century) is a Germanic language with influence from Romance language (Latin root), but "theatre" came from Greek language.
-Greek: θέατρον / théatron (a place for viewing)
-British English: theatre
*also in Canadian, Australian and New Zealandian English
-Latin: theatrum
French: théâtre
Spanish: teatro
Portuguese: teatro
Italian: teatro
Romanian: teatru
All of them use -tr + vowel, only American English uses -ter.
American English is simplified and British English is traditional.
Yay Mike's back! I was afraid I wouldn't get to see him again after the Myth series ended.
I am SO HAPPY that you are doing another series for Crash Course! I mean, there is a lot of great stuff on Crash Course, but I miss Idea Channel and it's great that I can come here to get a little of that Mike Rugnetta goodness!
Mike you should know. Im ONLY watching this cuz you're hosting, i looove your personality. now back to the theater stuff.
I love it, the same speaker, and now it seems like a continuation of recently ended mythology course , but with theatrical flavour
okkam okulus Mike is my favorite host
I am so happy to see Mike on Crash Course! So excited! Love the topic as well.
I’m so excited and grateful for this new series! I absolutely love the honesty and wholesome explanations!
I especially love Dionysus and so happy to learn about him from a credible source like you!
Thank you💝💝💝💝💝💝
Tanks so much, i been waiting this crash course up to 4 years......
So happy to see Mike as the host and who doesn’t want a crash course on theater? So excited for this series!
When I tried out for the school play and musical, my senior year, I wish I had gotten into it much earlier. Not a big theater enthusiast now, but it is a lot of fun.
Wow, I like the rational, de-eurocentricized approach to explaining this art form and its origins. I look forward to the rest of this series.
This is amazing! Already looking forward to the next episode. Would love it if you would discuss larping and its realintionship to theatre in the future!
I've been watching the videos about theatre here in this channel and they are great! So helpful and pedagogically useful!
It's been a year since I've acted (outside of youtube anyway) and I've been looking forward to this forever.
This is gonna be good
Hey just in time for my theater class.. nice timing!
Thanks for this video! I'll be waiting the next episode
I'm so happy, great way to start off the weekend😺❤
Me 2 weeks ago: Aww, Idea Channel is gone and CC World Mythology is almost over, guess I'll have to get used to not seeing Mike Rugnetta videos anymore.
Me Today: Ooh, another new Crash Course, I could stand to know more about theater, wonder who's hosting... OH MY GOODNESS YES!!!
Crash Course + Theatre + Mike = Yes
Yes + Thoth + Dionysus + Crash Course = Verry Happy Me ;)
Right?!?!?!
Glad to see you back on Crash Course, Mike!
It's heartbreaking to see Thoth so sad though...
I love Mike's courses so much. I'm not a native speaker but he can make everything so easily understandable and interesting
Glad to see Mike is still around! Loved Mythology and this is going to be incredibly useful!
Mike, that was truly amazing !!!!! SO glad to watch this
You pronounced Dionysus properly!!! Already off to a better start than mythology. Thank you.
I am currently doing my internship in a theatre (I would just like to clarify I told the before hand I enjoy theatre but I know virtually nothing about it) and this series has saved me :) Thanks!!
Just closed Hamlet with my local Shakespeare troupe. That opening bit KILLED me. Also, I too am quite excited for the series.
I am way too excited that you're hosting again, this made my day. 🖤
As a major who's done theatre my whole life and works as a stage manager and is a performed playwright this is the most happy I've been from a crash course video
I literally got so excited when I saw that you were hosting this series, Mike! I was worried we wouldn't see you again after Crash Course Mythology!
Loved the mythology one and I'm SO psycked for this!
I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD!
God yes this is really happening! There absolutely must be more than one episode worth of Shakespeare and if time allows, more than one for Broadway. I'm busting at the seams to belt some Wicked and Hamilton!
ALL THE WAY FROM LONDON? DAMN
Oh my gosh, Mike you're back! It's good to see you again on Crash Course!
Really good first episode! Excited for more.
Yay! You're back!
Love this new series, it's interesting to see the background of what is my greatest passion
This makes me so happy! Theatre and Mike!!
I HOPE OTHER VIDEOS OF THIS SERIES COMES OUT FASTER BECAUSE ITS REALLY HELPING ME FOR THIS THEATRE MODULE THAT IM TAKING IN MY UNIVERSITY SOBS
I will watch this series, mostly cause I miss listening to you every week, Mike. And to learn something new.
Really looking forward to this series! Would you consider covering how audiences themselves changed the theatre? From the raucous to the reserved, y'know?
Also, I hope when you guys eventually cover theatre history in Asia and Africa it's more than just one episode...
Oh my god Thoth looked so sad.
OH MY GOD YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED THIS
Thanks Crash Course to make an episode on Theater!! I'm so excited
Mike is back--I was sad to see CC Mythology end, but this promises to be great. Thanks CC.
Our teacher taught us that theater is a place where theatrical performance is performed while theatre is the dramatic presentation for an audience.
My favorite crash course host!
Thank goodness you’re back, Mike. And we got another mythological god, Dionysus
Thank you!! Loved CC Mythology, really looking forward to CC Theatre. Glad to see Thoth pop up again, too!
SO EXCITED!!!!
Great series really excited about this
Amazing!
I'm so excited for this series theatre is so great thank you for this so much
This series is going to last a year and I'm loving every part of it.
A very good first act. Can't wait to see more! 👍👍
I learned more about theater in two minutes of this video than I did in three years of Drama classes at my high school.
I’m just learning about theater 🎭 in English. Perfect timing 😂🤩
Mike! I was hoping you'd stick around. Looking forward to this new series!
JUST FOUND IT, LOVE IT. THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
excited for this series.
me tooooooooooo
Arguably one of the best channels and uses of RUclips...what tv was supposed to be. I’m happy I found this it make me do this 😮😃😊
Yay! Mike is doing more crashcourse!
It was very interestind! Thank you a lot!
This is on time! Our lesson in english is about theatre
I remember Civ 5’s intro with the movie theatre
I'm so stoked for a CC Theatre! 💜💛💜
I like this guy he's funny, and this channel makes learning super fun.
Mythology and Theatre! Thanks for teaching my two favorite things!
Just wanted to thank you and to say ‘Well done Mike!’ for your attention to the pronunciation of Mircea Eliade! Can’t wait for the next video of this series!
MIKE IS BAAAAAACKKK
I was so happy when Thoth popped out :')
But he looks so sad. I felt sorry for him.
Dan Menard I felt really sad too :') but like a nostalgic happy/sad because I thought I'd never see him again but :( it's not his series anymore
Oh my, Mike is back! I loved the mythology series. Hope this one does well.
You don't understand how long I've wanted this
Love it!! Crash Course Symphonies? Operas? I want to write for CC!
super! in this quarentine, a friend and I will be watching them all
This is everything I Need!!!!
Yesssss I’ve been waiting FOREVER!!
....But....
re. Re. RE. *RE* *R👏🏻E👏🏻*
At least when referring to the art form..
I just felt like watching Crash Course after not watching it for a really long time now that I'm older, and I read "Mike Rugnetta" and I went "Wait, this is the mythology guy from when I last watched...(feeling excitement even though I haven't even watched the video yet). Thank You :)
MIKE IS BACK!!
We loved you on mythology. It is great you got another crash course show so soon.
I'm so excited for this
Any mentions of Hamilton will immediately make this my favorite episode. But if you mention it in every episode then the newest video will always be my favorite...
This is my new favorite combination of things!
Got me at ...expialidocious. I'm so up for this series!
As soon as I plated the video and realised Rugnetta would be hosting this, I might have hugged my computer. I missed this guy!!
I loved you in Mythology I am glad you are back for another round.
Just came to check it out but since Mike is hosting it, I'm staying. He did such a great job on the Myth CC so looking forward to this one now.
