slide1. Course Name – Drama And Art In Education (2nd Semester) Course code 1.2.EPC2 Title : Drama As A Tool Of Learning By Shiuli Mahapatra Unit : 1 (Drama And Its Fundamentals)<br>
slide2. Drama is a made of fictional representation through dialogue and performance. It contains conflict of characters , particularly the ones who perform in front of audience an the stage.
‘Drama’ is an Ancient Greek word meaning ‘act’ or ‘deed’. Aristotole used the term ‘drama’ to describe poetic compositious that were acted in front of audiences in a theatron. Introduction<br>
slide3. Aristotole said, “Drama is a criticism of life on a stage , with action , characters and dialogue.”
Drama / Play are not written in paragraphs like a novel / short story. Instead, they are written as lines of dialogue in the form of script.<br>
slide5. Plot, referring to the basic storyline of the play, is the structure of a play which tells what happens as the story goes. The plot structure can be divided into six stages: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement. PLOT<br>
slide6. The theme refers to the message that is intended to be expressed through the story. In other word, it is the main idea or the lesson to be learned from the play. THEME<br>
slide7. The characters that form a part of the story are interwoven with the plot of the drama. Each character in a play has a personality of its own and a set of principles and beliefs. Actors in the play have the responsibility of bringing the characters to life. The main character in the play who the audience identifies with, is the protagonist. He/she represents the theme of the play. The character that the protagonist conflicts with, is the antagonist or villain. While some characters play an active role throughout the story, some are only meant to take the story forward and some others appear only in certain parts of the story and may or may not have a significant role in it. CHARECTERS<br>
slide8. The story of a play is taken forward by means of dialogs. The story is narrated to the audiences through the interaction between the play’s characters, which is in the form of dialogs. The contents of the dialogs and the quality of their delivery have a major role to play in the impact that the play has on the audiences. It is through the dialogs between characters that the story can be understood. They are important in revealing the personalities of the characters. The words used, the accent, tone, pattern of speech, and even the pauses in speech, say a lot about the character and help reveal not just his personality, but also his social status, past, and family background as given by the play. DIALOG<br>
slide9. This element includes the use of sounds and rhythm in dialogs as well as music compositions that are used in the plays. The background score, the songs, and the sound effects used should complement the situation and the characters in it. The right kind of sound effects or music, if placed at the right points in the story, act as a great supplement to the high and low points in the play. The music and the lyrics should go well with the play’s theme. If the scenes are accompanied by pieces of music, they become more effective on the audiences. MUSIC<br>
slide10. While the dialog and music are the audible aspects of drama, the visual element deals with the scenes, costumes, and special effects used in it. The visual element of drama, also known as the spectacle, renders a visual appeal to the stage setup. The costumes and makeup must suit the characters. Besides, it is important for the scenes to be dramatic enough to hold the audiences to their seats. The special effects used in a play should accentuate the portion or character of the story that is being highlighted. SPECTACLE<br>
slide11. Drama is a teaching tool that allows students to participate, demonstrate, and observe in a "controlled," or non-threatening, environment. In other words, it provides another "non-traditional" opportunity for students to learn and to demonstrate learning. At the same time, drama helps students get in touch with their creativity and spontaneity as well as to develop confidence in the expression of their ideas. Finally, it teaches self-discipline, acceptance of and positive response to criticism, and cooperation with others. Drama As A Tool Of Learning<br>
