Abstract
Aerobics for performance enhancement in theatre productions is a science unto itself, requiring its teachers to blend their knowledge of the mechanics of the body with an equal understanding of the acting process. The discipline’s teachers have experimented with a range of systems since the 1950s, gathering influences from performance traditions around the world, inventing new techniques, and carrying on the legacies of their own teachers.
This research through secondary data tends to identify and document the various aerobics and physical exercises employed to enhance performance.The findings of the study showed that the ability to activate the imagination in movement-making [creative play].Theability to access spacein a dynamic and integratedmanner.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Aerobics and performance enhancement are part of the preparation process of a theatre production. Performance which is a dramatic or other form of entertainment presented before an audience needs to be enhanced, this is because every theatrical production requires a good performance.
Aerobics enhances the performance of an actor in a production. A lot of aerobic exercise helps to relax the mind of the actor and put it in a good shape for a performance. It is safe to say that aerobic is a good mind developer and also ease stress from which will have certain aesthetic limitations in performances.
The study will develop an innovative style of how it will be able to get all the basic information of aerobics and performance enhancement. Although there are many problems that are encountered in creating a performance for a production, they can be checked if the director can do their best in providing a good aerobic formation. An actor must have good balance during body movement in a performance, also muscular co-ordination, awareness endurance. All these are necessary to help continue existence of good prolonged performance to develop fatigue free expression while performing.
