I was surprised to find that I had no trouble picking the world theatre tradition that I'm the most interested in researching. When starting this project we were asked to research three traditions and pick the one that you liked the best. The three that I decided to look into were pantomime, khan dance drama, and comedy of manners. Pantomime was the first tradition I looked into and there's no question that it is my favorite due to the goofy nature of the tradition. Also, out of the three I researched, it was the easiest to do the project on because I could use any of the elements for the tradition. I think out of all of these the most interesting to me what the khan dance drama because it's a tradition I hadn't known about previously and I thought all the costumes were so beautiful and different from anything I've seen previously. Unfortunately, I knew I didn't want to do the tradition because of my discomfort with dance. Although I do enjoy the comedy type involved in comedy of manners, it was the tradition I was the least excited about mostly because I struggled to find much on the tradition in my brief research but I had also already contributed on a show (The Importance of being Earnest) that was under the comedy of manners tradition.
