Early Theatre
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Guilds were instrumental in the development of medieval drama. The production of plays eventually passed to the guilds, a collection of artisans typically involved in the same occupations. These working individuals produced plays, including sets, costumes, acting, and financing. In Medieval times, short religious-themed plays were often undertaken by the guilds, according to craft. For example, builders would produce a play about NoahÆs Ark while goldsmiths might have mounted the story of the Three Kings. These guilds grew in influence and kept outsiders who were not members from practicing their particular craft. They also protected members and offered aid to one another. The theater guilds helped popularize the theater among the working classes, in addition to the above influences. The two main kinds of roles or characters in Kabuki Theater include the Aragato and Wagoto. The Aragoto are masculine heroic types, vividly painted in makeup and powerful and exaggerated in voice. Their scale is heightened by their oversized costumes and accessories. Wagoto are more sensitive and restrained than the superhero-like Aragoto.
