    (how naturalism affected the theatre, plays, etc.) I know this is a bit of an obscure topic, but I'm doing a presentation on it for an acting class of mine. Anyone have any thoughts or information on this? I really need help with this, I have no idea how I'm going to present this! Thaanks

    oh , yaya , i love this subject . the old man Adolph Appia who was employed as a scenic designer by the opera composer Wagner is considered the prophet of naturalistic theatre . i have at times been free to apply his theory and then discovered satisfaction and joy in what happened .


    one thing to do is create a music that is primarily to serve the actors . maybe the audience hears it or not . it is a music environment , it abstractly subs for all the little cricket chirps or whispers of wind and all that would be . this relaxes , and the production ultimately projects to the audience subtle nature . ok ?
