Environmental Theatre is a form of performance that emphasizes the relationship between the audience, the performers, and the surrounding environment. It often takes place in non-traditional spaces, such as parks, streets, or abandoned buildings, creating an immersive experience that blurs the lines between the performance and the audience's reality. This approach encourages viewers to engage with the performance in a more personal and immediate way.
By utilizing the physical space and its unique characteristics, Environmental Theatre aims to create a dialogue about the environment and the human experience within it. Productions may incorporate elements of nature, architecture, and community to enhance the storytelling and provoke thought about social and environmental issues.
