The Elements of Drama

Global Context:

Personal and cultural Expression

Key Concept:

Form

Statement of Inquiry:

The purpose of Drama is to express and communicate ideas and beliefs through structure and form.

Factual Questions:

- What makes effective performances?

- What is the responsibility of an audience?

- What is the responsibility of a performer?

Conceptual Question:

- How does form affect the impact of a performance?

Debatable question:

- Is the only goal of performance to entertain?

Students question what makes 'good' drama and learn performance techniques such as 'thought tracking', 'tableau', 'split-scene', 'sound-montage' and more. They develop their collaborative skills and foster their awareness of giving and receiving constructive feedback.
