mood1

Pronunciation:/muːd/

  • the atmosphere or pervading tone of something:a concept album which captures the mood of modern times
  • [as modifier] (especially of music) inducing or suggestive of a particular feeling or state of mind:mood music

E.g. If the play set as an intense mood
    • Actors may most probably be physically uptight. 
    • Their eyecontacts consists of tension 
    • Even negative spaces has tension and pressure put on to the actors and the audiences
    • Distance between actors and distance between actor and audience. If the actors suddenly become very close, almost staring at each other nose touching nose, you can feel the intensity between them. If the actors come towards the audience almost breaking the liminal space, audience can feel the suspension being built up. 

Mood that can be created in theatre:

  • Lighting  
      • blue lighting -> Cold and lonely
      • Warm lighting -> Happy
      • What is in the shadow and what is in the light?
  • Music and Sound effect
      • Happy music
      • Solemn music
      • Scary music - if a ghost character appear but the music that is playing is a comical happy music the character will not look scary anymore and the audience won't anticipate something terrifying to happen.
Once the lighting, the sound and the props are presented, the atmosphere is created and the mood will be set.
