What are 8 of crafts in theater?

Answer 1

1. Theatre is divided into eight crafts. The first is producing, which involves securing all necessary personnel, space, financing; managing production, promotional features, legal matters, and distributing all proceeds. The second is directing, which controls and develops the artistic product, provides a clear, unified vision, coordinates all components, and supervises rehearsals. The third is designing, which involves a map out of the visual and audio elements of production such as scenery, properties, costumes and wigs, makeup, lighting, sound, programs, advertising, and general ambience of the space provided. The fourth is building, which involves all hired carpenters, costumers, wig-makers, electricians, make-up artists, recording and sound engineers, painters, and many other craftsmen to translate the layout into reality by constructing and finishing in detail the set or 'hardware' of the show. The fifth is crewing, which involves technicians rehearsing in proper sequence and with careful timing the light and sound cues and the shifting of scenery as well as managing the placement and return of properties and the assignment, laundering, repair, and changes of costumes. The sixth is stage managing, which includes the responsibility for 'running' a play production in all of its complexity in each performance. The seventh craft is house managing, which involves the responsibility of managing admittance, seating, and providing the general comfort of the audience. Above all, the eighth craft is playwriting.
