What is naturalism?
Naturalism is when you act as if you are in the natural world, with no physical Theater breaking of the 4th wall etc.
"Naturalism is a movement in European drama and theater that developed in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. It refers to theater that attempts to create a perfect
illusion of reality through a range of dramatic and theatrical
strategies: detailed, three-dimensional settings (which bring Darwinian understandings of the determining role of the environment into the staging of human drama); everyday speech forms (prose over poetry); a secular
world-view (no ghosts, spirits or gods intervening in the human
action); an exclusive focus on subjects that are contemporary and
indigenous (no exotic, otherworldly or fantastic locales, nor historical
or mythic time-periods)" -
