Category: Performing Arts – Drama

Drama refers to the creation, performance, and appreciation of theatrical works that are performed live for an audience. It involves a range of dramatic genres, such as tragedy, comedy, musical theatre, and performance art, and includes both scripted and improvised works. Performing arts drama involves not only the technical aspects of theatre production, such as stage design, lighting, and sound, but also the expressive and interpretive aspects of performance, including acting, directing, and stagecraft. It includes live performances in theatre, as well as site-specific and immersive theatrical experiences. By studying performing arts drama, scholars aim to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural, social, and historical contexts in which theatrical works were created and performed, as well as the ways in which theatre reflects and shapes the human experience.
