What is theater? What is it like to act in a play and perform on stage? As a kid, I enjoyed playing the role of "Dorthy" in The Wizard of Oz, but then I got older and thought my theater acting days were over. I'm again curious about acting and theater as an adult, so I wanted to know how theater has evolved since my days of playing "Dorthy." I interviewed MARIA RAKOTONARIVO, Founder of the Theatre Studio BELOE in Geneva, on how she teaches acting to students from all walks of life who have zero experience in theater. Maria started training in theater in Russia at the age of seven, so she knows how to create stunning performances on stage. I also spoke to her students to discover how theater has changed their lives. I learned that theater is much more than a dramatic Shakespearean play. #theatre #theaterplays #acting #performance #thespians #theaterdirector To learn more about Maria's Theatre Studio BELOE visit her site at http://theatrebeloe.com/ or follow her on IG: @maria_theatre_beloe or FB: studioBeloe.
