Exploring A Performance Ka Show At The MGM Grand Hotel

In our lives, most people have watched and experienced many performances or theaters. Theater is one of the most popular entertainments that have stood the test of times. When we speak about theater, one usually means a variety of art forms. However, all these forms have common elements. While approaching a performance Ka show at the MGM Grand Hotel, the following says that theater is a unique art form that involves collaboration between performers and the audience.

Wilson & Goldfarb (2012) suggest that all theater performances have six common elements without which “an event ceases to be theater and becomes a different art form and a different experience” (p. 9). These elements are performers, audience, director, theater space, design aspects,

In order to create a great performance, an actor is expected to have a native talent as well as to be involved in the ongoing improvement of professional skills (Stanislavski 28). I was able to teswt the validity of this assertion during the performance. Since I am not a native English speaker, I was not able to understand the whole text.

It would though be wrong to assume that the troupe managed to collaborate with the audience only by the actors’ talent. The collaboration was also facilitated by the text, theater space, and design elements. Since I was not able to understand much of the text, I will focus on the latter two

A great responsibility also rests with theater space and elements of design (Wilson & Goldfarb, 2012). While watching the performance, I was amazed at how the space was organized. There was a very high wall in the center of the scene, and it caused the feeling of excitement and risk that was further reinforced by big rolling hoops that were integral elements of the performance. The dynamism of the performance was provided by the quick change of the stage. I could count ten changes.

When analyzing the performance, I believe that its director set himself a number of important objectives. One of the objectives was to evoke a sense of wonder. I think that the director wanted to create a show that one wants to see again and again. I suggest that this objective was reached through the selection of exciting events that followed each other with bewildering rapidity. The objective was also achieved due to elaborated theater
