Theater Communications

Communication is a human phenomenon; therefore, it constantly changes form and produces modern tools under the influence of time. Theater is also an avant-garde, dynamic phenomenon that adapts to the social human movements of its time, and since it is a communicative art, it employs various communication models to strengthen the dialogue between the stage and the audience. Today, theater, with its diverse elements, has acquired numerous forms and communication models. Interactive theater, with an emphasis on space and creating situations in any place, creates an encounter between the group and the audience. Theater is a communicative practice formed by the sender and receiver in a situation. In new communication models of theater, the sender and receiver may not only have no boundaries but may sometimes be one and the same. This closeness increases the impact of theater and shapes a different meta-theater that brings about many interpretations, which produce collective knowledge and transform into awareness for the audience. If we assume theater is a compilation of systematically selected findings combined with human motivations, it is simplest conceived as authored by each individual such as the playwright, director, actor, and audience. Each of these authorships is a level of hermeneutics that creates a different narrative of theater. These narratives depend on the linguistic level and personal action concerning the subject.
