A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

The traditional African Theatre will include: total theatre,

Total theatre in traditional African theatre refers to a performance mode where drama is not separated from music, dance, chant, costume, ritual action, audience response, and visual spectacle. For the exam, you must understand that this idea explains why many African performances are communal, multi-sensory, and functional rather than limited to spoken dialogue on a formal stage.
