ICONs

What an ICON is

An ICON is one of the small visual symbols used across the DT:FC site to mark a concept that matters. Each ICON pairs a picture, a name, and a short definition — a landing spot for a term the work relies on.

How ICONs are used

Wherever an ICON name appears in the copy — for example, Cohesion

— you can click the icon (or press Enter with the keyboard) to see the short definition without leaving the page. A “Read more →” link inside the popover takes you here, to the Players Resource Center, for the full explanation.

Why ICONs exist

Developmental Theatre uses a specific vocabulary — words like cohesion, resilience, warmup, facilitation — that don’t always mean what a newcomer expects. Rather than defining them once and hoping readers remember, ICONs let a definition travel with the term: every time you see one, the definition is a click away.

Where you’ll see them

• On every game page, marking the game’s competency, cohesion, and other properties.
• In the Theatre Games landing copy, wherever a term is introduced.
• On section landing pages when a key concept is named.
• In the alphabetical concept list on this page.
