Theatre
Careers in the field of arts or any other profession require imaginative empathy. Such careers include acting and playwriting. Playwrights use a particular language when writing their play and demand actors to use their words as they have written. The playwright’s words may only be changed when the playwright has granted such permission. However, the words in a play change when translated into another language, and the playwright can no longer protect their words. Translated plays have a different meaning in their idioms or slang. Therefore, to protect the profession and the professional, the play already translated needs to be translated back to the original language to gain the original meaning and convey the playwright’s intended message (106).
Acting has a particular set of skills that actors need to learn for them to perform on stage. One of the skills acquired is how to collaborate with other theatre professionals. These professionals include playwriters, designers, producers, lighting designers, and directors. The playwrights provide the actors with words they can use to express themselves. They act as sources of information that determines the descriptions of the characters and stage directions (110). Designers generate a creative idea of a visual element that would support both the play’s values and content. The directors oversee the mounting of a play by bringing various aspects of production together. He is responsible for ensuring the play’s completeness and quality and leading the actors in realizing their vision in arts. Therefore, the director collaborates with actors to ensure success in the performance aspect of the play. The producer performs the managerial and financial functions of a play by providing financial support and hiring personnel like directors and designers. Another important person is the light designer plans the play’s time and the bigger picture of the lighting atmosphere. He manages the issues of safety, stage visibility, and cost.
