	Experimental theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Experimental theatre is a general term for various movements in Western theatre that began in the 20th century as a reaction against the then-dominant conventions governing the writing and production of drama, and against naturalism in particular.
		The term has shifted over time as the mainstream theatre world has adopted many forms that were once considered radical.
		It is used more or less interchangeably with the term avant-garde theatre.

	Essay 5 by Jaime Kleiman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Unfortunately, this experience (okay, maybe you didn’t leave the theatre) is a very common one to have while watching an experimental theatre piece.
		Experimental theatre is, at its core, a way of asking questions and searching for answers that you wouldn’t necessarily do (or want to do) with in a more conventional setting.
		Theatre is about the relationship between performer and audience, and a show — any show — that doesn’t honor that relationship is holding back on you.

	[No title]
		Improvisational theatre (also known as improv or impro) is a form of theatre in which the actors perform without a script.
		Because of the unpredictable nature of such a performance and the unexpected events that occur, improvisation lends itself naturally to comedy, and the specific term "improv" usually refers to a form of high-energy comic entertainment.
		This is sometimes referred to as "organic" theatre, and is especially favored by creators of political theatre, experimental theatre, and practitioners of drama therapy.

	Teaching “Experimental Theater”
		The project is a workshop in “experimental theater.” The participants are all high school students recruited from high school programs in debate/forensics, music, and dance, as well as from theater programs.
		In these two ways participants are forced to focus their performance choice questions directly on what point or effect they wish to make at each moment in the text they have written without presuming predetermined answers.
		These pieces are put together in a very short time and are experimental in nature; they are always “works in progress.” However, the participants are encouraged to drill their pieces so they will have solidity in performance and so the performers will be reliable for each other as well.

	:: SQUAT THEATRE : Pig! Child! Fire! press ::
		SQUAT - short for squatters- is an exiled Hungarian experimental theatre that began working as a group in Budapest in 1969.
		Banned in Budapest for a performance that was considered by the authorities to be "obscene" and "apt to be misinterpreted from a political point of view", in its new work, entitled "Pig, Child, Fire!" Squat certainly deserves that double charge.
		The current play is derived from the Theatre of Cruelty, and in keeping with that fact the minimal prepared text is taken from the writings of Artaud and Dostoyevsky.

		He believed he was inventing a new stratagem in the theatre by having a character heard by another but not having him say what he meant to say.
