Everything is a Form of Art

         Performance art is a wonderful way of expression that we have all noticed has become a past time. Which we are sad to see it decrease into other forms of art. With the easy access of internet now and how prices are cheap to see movies or join Netflix it's made the performance in theatre drop drastically. This easy access method has resorted to a lost art that melts away into these other forms.
An example of exactly how things are getting complicated are the use of electronics during performances. In the LSU theatre department we like to record our performances for the archives. This should be the only copy ever recorded for documentation and educational purposes. However, on Broadway we see bootleg versions of live performances pop up on the internet all the time. People would rather watch something that is frowned up greatly than spend hundreds of dollars on this once in a life time opportunity to sit an experience a piece of live theatre. I feel that there must be a way to bring back the enjoyment of being able to make going to see the live performance a seamlessly easy and affordable way.

I find that the media or recreation of events are always "imagined memories" that may have over exaggerated things. We never really actually see a true event happening in the film or theatre because we were not actually there when it happened. I believe that even with the extensive research or the multiple interviews to try and recreate an event still may have it's flaws. This has an impact on the theatre and media. People believe a lot more of the documentary films because they think that the events actually taking place during this media is really happening. This cannot be true because even the documentary films are scripted to seem perfect and flawless in their efforts to capture live actions. Another thing about the influence of the media is that these things can be falsely presented and then people end up believing the wrong thing instead of the truth.
