This being said, what is Aristotle's theory of imitation?

Aristotle states that poetic imitation is a form of amen in actiona. The poet portrays men worse than they really are. He can portray men better than they are in real life, based on material provided by legend and history rather than any living person. The poet chooses his material and creates reality.

Aristotle suggests that there are three types of imitation. The Medium of Imitation Aristotle recognizes rhythm, harmony, and language as the three main media.

Music is a combination of rhythm and harmony; dance only uses the rhythmical movements of the dancers in order to communicate its message.
