- Abstract
The article discusses the effect of equine actor, or a horse enacting a specific character on stage, on theatrical scenic design and production practices in the U.S. The inclusion of the horse in the theatre has inspired stage machinery which was designed for the production of equestrian or hippo dramas. Equine actor has also influenced the development of scenic design and stage machinery by means of providing opportunity for both great spectacle and also the lifelike presentation of numerous illusions onstage. The two basic types of theatrical panoramas are the repeating panorama and the progressive roller type panorama.
