What contributions did "Primal Theatre" of pre-history give us that we still use today? (the time of the mammoths...) Give examples from TV, film or theatre productions that use those contributions.
I need 7 elements for this and I already have these 6: storytelling, religion and theatre connection, rhythm, dance, masks and seasonal acts.
Can someone help me with the 7th contribution from primal theatre that we still use today?
Thanks a lot!

I already researched and couldn't find anything. I thought top contributors on here could help me out...

Please do your own homework research either online [wikipedia] or at your local library [a large building containing books].

It is still legal scholarship if you cite your sources. This venue can be a good source. So I will give you a seventh contibution, it is the arena theatre. Primal Theatre was always done in a dancing circle with the audience sitting all around it just as the audience sits around today's arena theatre.

You could break down 'religious connection' into 'shamanism' and 'rites of passage' then you would have 7!
good luck
