Installation theatre is a form of performance art that combines elements of traditional theatre with visual art installations. It often involves a non-linear narrative and immersive environments, encouraging audience interaction and participation. The space is transformed into a multi-sensory experience, where the audience moves through the installation, engaging with the artwork and the performers in a more dynamic way. This genre challenges conventional storytelling and the relationship between the viewer and the performance.

The holy theatre and deadly theatre are titles of two of the four essays on theatrical performance in Peter Brook's "The Empty Space". The first is the "deadly theatre" that refers to theatre productions which have lost their "liveliness" due to a variety of causes: repetition without reinvention's, lack of imaginative process, ineffective performance techniques, and so forth. The Holy theatre refers to two types of theatre performance. The first is a performance that is closely associated with ritual of a semi-religious nature in which the audience joins the performers in an attempt to achieve a personal trans formative emotional and intellectual experience. The second refers to theatre professionals like Julian and Malina Beck who dedicate their lives to creating a theatre that strives to achieve the same trans formative experiences that once existed in religious rituals now extinct. The subject matter dealt with in these productions usually focuses on contemporary life and personal issues, not archetypal structure such as one finds in Greek Drama for example. Additionally, these theatre practitioners usually eschew the commercial venues and production values of the establishment such as Broadway, the regional and academic theatres.

Theatre styles like classical, modern, and experimental each have unique approaches to storytelling, staging, and performance.
