THEATRE PERFORMANCE COMMUNICATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THEATRE SEMIOTICS
ABSTRACT: This article
investigates the processes of communicating performance elements including word
sign systems, facial expressions, tones, gestures, motions, make-up, hair
styles, costumes, props, settings, lighting, music, voice or sound effects from the performers to the
audience. The success of a theatrical performance actually depends on the successful
communication of these elements by the performers. This study adopts the
perspective of theater semiotics. Hopefully this article can benefit theater
creators in communicating performance codes and messages to the audience. Thus,
a theatrical performance can be a productive communication between them and the
audience.
