Some have said that drama develops self-esteem and encourages creativity and imagination.
This is true, and will be demonstrated through examples from personal experiences.
Usually the first thing that occurs in a drama class is that someone will ask for a definition of the word drama.
At first glance, it seems a simple question, but as one begins to delve into the true nature of drama, the answer is not so cut and dry

For some, drama is a type of television show, such as a KbSb or Kahani GGki show.
For others, it is that section of the movie rental hire a CD and 'chick flicks' are.
For still others, drama means Sophocles, Euripides, and Shakespeare.

For teachers, drama means all and none of these things.
A clear definition is needed in order to lead the students in various activities, and towards various goals. What good is it to have the students explore within themselves
if the teacher does not know what the aim or direction of the exploration is?

Many teachers claim that their purpose of drama is to develop the child's sense of self. This however is slightly vague.
Most people in education strive for this in one way or another.
Bettering the child in body mind and spirit is a general goal for teachers, so this idea is not particular to drama.

An expressive process which is best understood through the idea of symbolization and its role in the discovery and communication of meaning (McGregor 24).
This is an accurate definition, as it also goes
on to explain that drama is 'multi-faceted' and that the child gains experience through voice,
language and the body as prime means of expression; and the associated media of light, sound and space (McGregor 24). www.ramshya.com

Drama is tension. In the context of a play in a theatre,
Tension often means that the audience is expecting something to happen between the characters on stage.
i.e., Will they shoot each other?
Will they finally confess their undying love for one another?
Will Oedipus figure out that he was the one that caused the plague by killing his father and married his mother?

Drama on stage often reflects
the drama of everyday life,
BUT(just like other forms of literature and art)
it concentrates life,
focuses it,
and
holds it up for examination

1. THEOMAI (a Greek word)

The object of the performance should be to create something believable, human and to make the audience think.
So the actors try to find a way of conveying the thoughts and experience of their characters

To do this they need a wide supple techniques a set of skills (mental & physical) that enables them to convey their understanding of
a character and allows a great variety of expressionisms

Another aspect one can concentrate on is body movement and non-verbal communication. We say so much about ourselves through body language. If we can learn to control each part of our bodies and the movements it may make, we can be more in control of our lives.
Focus and concentration also plays a large part in drama

Personal feelings are not the only subject for drama.
Drama can be used to introduce the student to a number of different topics, be it historical, political, scientific, or artistic. A variety of situations can be concocted, allowing the child to explore his actual social relationships at the real level, and an unlimited number of hypothetical roles and attitudes at the symbolic level (McGregor 24).

By experimenting with various roles in society, the child becomes better prepared to face these challenges in the real world. As well, by allowing him/herself to experience things as a different personality and by letting the imagination grow free, the teacher is building up the child's confidence in him/herself and the validity of their own ideas and feelings.
The child is now more perceptive to the needs and feelings of others, having portrayed many different types of people.

Gavin Bolton's definition of dramatic action as a tool for learning that rests in its capacity
(1) to separate and objectify an event and
(2) to break down established concepts and perceptions (142).

In the early 1950s,
Peter Slade wrote a book entitled as
“ Child Drama”

“The world was changing; people's perceptions were changing.
Children were finally seen as people who needed to be
nurtured, directed, guided.
Unfortunately there were still some groups who felt that the traditional outlook
(drama with an audience) was the way to go.”

Peter Slade was advocating drama for personal development.
He stated that he sees formal theatre as a final stage in a child's development (Bolton 22).
Many traditionalists extrapolated from this statement that he was anti-theatre.

Peter Slade was not anti-theatre,
he merely felt that not all activities
had to be performed; some were for
self-exploration only.
He wanted to turn away from the formalised styles designed to make all children sound like 'little adults' and turn back to the natural direction that children wanted to take.

Me & Drama For me, drama has always allowed me to become
characters that I would never play in real life. Play-acting has made me more creative; I can use my imagination to its full potential, as
I no longer feel threatened by an audience. I have always found play-acting and other creative drama exercises to be therapeutic whenever I was distressed.
By interacting with others in the group I have developed an appreciation for the mind and for the spirit. My view of society has changed; each one of us has a place in it, and it is up to the individual to define that place, however it is the duty of the group to adapt to each individual.
This is the only way to lead a successful and happy life outside of the classroom, in the real world.

ELEMENTS OF DRAMA
Since plays are written with the intention of performance, the reader of the play must use his/her imagination to enact the play as he/she reads it.
Readers of the play need to imagine not just feelings or a flow of action, but how the action and the characters look in a theater, on a stage, before a live audience.

Aristotle Aristotle was born in Stagirus,
Macedonia, Greece in 384 BC and died 62 years later in 322 BC.
He was a student at Plato's Academy and later became one of the greatest philosophers of Ancient Greece.
In one of his treatises, The Poetics, he outlines the Six Elements Of Drama, based
on the Ancient Greek belief that tragedy was the highest form of Drama.
This outline has become a guideline for many playwrights throughout history, and is especially emphasized in the works of William Shakespeare.

ELEMENTS OF DRAMAby
Aristotle'sThe six elements listed below follow the
format suggested by Aristotle's Poetics in Greece around 300 B.C. While these elements are ranked by Aristotle in this order according to importance, note that many modern plays have little plot and much spectacle. In the end, however, the most important element for all theatre is telling the story www.ramshya.com

Aristotle's Six Elements of Drama
1. Plot (the incidents or story line) 2. Character (physical, social, psychological,
moral--people represented in the play) 3. Thought/Theme (insights into humanity and life) 4. Music (all sound) 5. Spectacle (scenery and other visual elements) 6. Diction/language (the dialogue and poetry)

![Page 48: Drama Presentation](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102618/5468e54cb4af9ffd498b4613/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
1. PLOT - (a map, a chart) The overall structure of a play. This consists of a beginning a middle, and an end. The beginning establishes given circumstances, has the inciting incident and progresses to the middle, which has the rising action and conflict, leading to a climax. The end, also called the denouement, establishes new circumstances which the conflicts (now resolved) have brought about.

2. CHARACTER - (an engraving instrument) The participants in the play. Characterization is developed in three levels: PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, and PSYCHOLOGICAL.

3. THOUGHT - (to seem like something else) The themes, concepts and ideas in the play. Generally speaking, a play needs to be UNIVERSAL in thought (which makes it appeal to the basic emotions and ideas of the majority) and yet needs to be INDIVIDUAL, or as others would say, personal, unique or original.

4. DIALOGUE - (between words or thoughts) The exchange of ideas by characters in a play. Dialogue gives information, reveals character, directs play and audience attention, reveals play themes, controls tempo and rhythm.
www.ramshya.com

5. MUSIC - (the art of sound and tone) The sound of a play. Most performers only consider music as sound provided by musical instruments, yet the sound provided by the human voice is very critical to a play's success. Music in Theatre is the sound of the human voice, sound effects, and sound provided by instruments for mood or rhythm.

6. SPECTACLE - (to see) The visual elements of a production. Spectacle gives information about locale, time and style of a production. Spectacle aids characterization. Spectacle establishes the mood of a play.

Freytag's Triangle Gustav Freytag was a
German writer and critic born in Kreuzburg, Silesia, in July of 1816, and died in 1895.
In his book Technique of the Drama (1863), he proposed a method of analyzing plots derived from Aristotle's concept of unity of action that came to be known as Freytag's Triangle or Freytag's Pyramid.
