What are some of the differences between text-based and performance traditions?
What will be an ideal response?
In performance traditions, the staging, music, dance, characterizations, masks, and acting are all passed down from generation to generation. They are often linked to religious ritual and are rooted in values and beliefs of the community, sometimes involving the community's participation. Text-based traditions, on the other hand, rely heavily on a written play text. Although the text is rooted in the values and beliefs of the time in which it was written, it is meant to be interpreted by generations of performers.
