Various definitions of theatre:

a. Peter Brook: "A man walks across [an] empty space and whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all that is needed for an act of theater to be engaged."

b. Monroe C. Beardsley: "When a motion, or sequence of motions, does not generate practical actions, and is intended to give pleasure through perception of rhythmic order, it is dance."

c. Bertolt Brecht: "Theater consists in this: in making live representations of reported or invented happenings between human beings, and doing so with an view to entertainment."

d. Judith Lynne Hanna: "Drawing upon everyday life and special occasions, choreographers and dancers transform and frame values, beliefs, and expressions of them through dancing."
