Answer:

Two Known Theaters in East Asia

1. Peking Opera in China

   -Peking opera is a performance art that combines singing,    recitation, acting, and martial arts. Despite being widely practiced throughout China, its performance is concentrated in Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai.

    -Peking opera is primarily sung and recited in Beijing dialect, and its librettos are written according to a strict set of rules that value form and rhyme. They tell stories about history, politics, society, and everyday life, with the goal of informing as well as entertaining.

    -Peking opera music is important in setting the pace of the show, creating a specific atmosphere, shaping the characters, and guiding the progression of the stories. 'Civilian plays' feature string and wind instruments like the thin, high-pitched jinghu and the flute dizi, whereas military plays feature percussion instruments like the bangu or daluo.

2. Kabuki Theater in Japan

   -Kabuki is a traditional Japanese theater form that dates back to the Edo Period. It, along with noh and bunraku, is recognized as one of Japan's three major classical theaters and has been designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

   -Kabuki is a highly theatrical art form. It includes elaborately designed costumes, eye-catching make-up, outrageous wigs, and, perhaps most importantly, the actors' exaggerated actions. The highly stylized movements serve to convey meaning to the audience; this is especially important given that an old-fashioned form of Japanese is typically used, which even Japanese people struggle to fully understand.

Answer:

When you hear ''theatre history'' you might think first of Shakespeare or the theatre of Ancient Greece. Well, the history of East and Southeast Asia predates the Greek theatre in some cases and contains traditions and styles that surpass Western theatre in depth and detail.

The Tang dynasty (613-907 CE) saw the opening of the first actors training program, the Pear Orchard Conservatory, which was established by Emperor Minghuang as a conservatory that offered training to male and female performers who might play characters of any age, background, or gender.
