What Is Julie Taymor's Satirical Theory Unique?

What makes Julie Taymor’s theatrical theory unique? It is the idea that you can take the simple act of storytelling and heighten its basic concept, that will in turn, leave the audience in awe. Understandably, we associate the idea of ‘storytelling’ with things like, folktales, campfires, and children’s bedtime story books. But when we really evaluate the content of theatrical performances, can it not be interpreted to be the telling of a story with dramatic quality? Julie Taymor molds our traditional idea of storytelling with the storytelling you find in a theatrical performance. Within theatre, you can take ideas that aren't usually associated with ‘theatre’ and mend them in order to create an aspect of theatre that then becomes a theory.

This would mean I would build it up and bring it down at different contrasting

I have to mainly focus on these elements and make sure that they are easy to work with and control with everything that I have available to me. Luckily with Taymor’s theory, she doesn’t necessarily believe in the idea of objects and props. (In the context of the storytelling) It is solely the use of your imagination which in turn helps the audience feed off your imagination and be in the place that you’ve provided. For my piece, I would develop the scene in a way that not only made it clear I was telling a story, but it would seem as though it was an actual ‘theatrical production’ Imagery has been shown to be an important factor within Taymor’s theories of storytelling so I thought I’d also use the idea of onomatopoeia, and gestures that matched, within the performance.
