The Dramatic Arts : The Art Of The Dramatic Arts

The dramatic arts have had great influence on my life and on my perspective of the world. Through this artistic expression, I can take on any persona, freeing both my mind and my heart. The understanding of people’s actions and emotions has shaped me into the young woman I am. Performance and the study of performing, I find, are enlightening, priceless, and eternal. So long as life persists, the timeless themes found in plays and works will persist.

“To be good at improvisation, it doesn’t really matter how talented you are, but more about giving it your best shot”

In the 2017 media article “How Fair is Hollywood” the main problem is the lack of inclusion that Hollywood has been using throughout their movies . This problem can be solved by having an actor play the role of the corresponding race of his/her character.As noted by Media Mix news in paragraph 1, the author explicitly describes “People have reported frustration with Hollywood’s casting process. That’s because they see non-white actors repeatedly kept out of the spotlight. There is also the phenomenon called “whitewashing,” when roles are written for minorities are given to white actors”. This indicates that people are being displeased by the fact that Hollywood has been doing negative things to put actors to play a  different race from what

The making of theatre has always been a tumultuous journey filled with ups and downs but in the end bares testament to the accomplishment of the cast, the crew, the director, and every single person involved in bringing a piece of art to life on stage. In Anne Bogart’s A director Prepares erotiscm is the relationship between the audience and the actors, stereotypes are are containers for memory, and embarrassment enables growth. These 3 essays are what demonstrate the magnitude and affect of artistic expression through theatre.

I would like to begin by discussing racism in the Hollywood film industry. In any group of people where the sample size is large enough, you can be sure to find some people who are racist. Moreover, Hollywood and the entire filmmaking industry is greatly and often purely motivated by money else, and

Musical Theatre is a theatrical performance when the story is told through dialogue, song, and dance. Back then, people didn’t Snap Chat, Face Time or watch TV for entertainment; they would go to the Theatre for a night out, first date, etc. To give a more definitive description of how musicals evolved, affected, and influenced throughout history, a time line of major musicals that defined certain stages of Musical Theatre will probably help people understand what makes it so unique.

God with your body.” 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are not like that, for you are a

Scripture seems to contradict itself with regard to the human body. Sometimes the body is seen as precious, for instance in 1 Cor 6:19-30, and sometimes as a hinderance to unity with Christ, 2 Cor 5:6-8. This seeming ambiguity within scripture has created distinct and conflicting schools of thought among Christian thinkers regarding the body and spirituality. Some advocate that the body is an essential part of our spirituality and should be embraced; others that the body is a hinderance to it, and should be approached with suspicion

Racial discrimination is a harsh reality in the labor market. But, are Hollywood producers and directors implicitly biased against black actors? Maybe—surely there are a few—but in the most liberal place in the country, this argument may be a stretch. Generally, Hollywood has been a hub of progress within the last several decades. But, after all, the liberal Hollywood execs are capitalist and have to make films people demand—leading us to the consumer.

We are in the sensitive world where people do whatever they desired. Our body, according to Plato, is destructible to the soul, because it often delays the soul's vision of ideas. I think in this part many Christians will agree with him because the body allows you to do imperfections to your body in addition, the body drags with its passions. It's kind of like a prison for the soul. Society and

ostmodernism was a movement that began in the 1960s that affected all forms of art and literature of that time period. Postmodernism followed modernism and it sought to challenge the ideas and values of modernistic theatre, modernism was formed to shake up theatre, introducing new theories of science and technology to explain the world, whereas postmodern theatre raises more questions than supplying the answers for the audience. Modernism created a ‘grand-narrative’ whereby there was only one meaning which would be told to the audience. Postmodernism broke down the ‘grand-narrative’ when Jean-François Lyotard wrote La Condition postmoderne: Rapport sur le savoir (The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge) (1979), he came up with

The world of theatre arts is a magical place. Being able to take a story and make it come alive lights a spark in my heart. Every story brings a different kind of magic, with different characters, sets, and props. Every show is a change from the last one. The cast and crew list is reposted—a clean slate—with people switching roles like rich women switch shoes. I believe in this change. More specifically, I believe in changing my mind.

Despite the claim that Drama in Education ( DIE) as a pedagogy dimmed its popularity in the Western world since 1990 until 2016 (Gallagher, et al. , 2017), in the year of 2011, Morrow, et al. included it as one of the best practices in literacy instruction. Some of the teachers who had the experience of trying process drama in their classrooms found that the pedagogy improved students’ participations, pushed students to use their imaginations, performed deeper understanding of the topics being learned and made the students learn to have empathy ( Long, 1998). Do the voices from the classroom resemble to what researchers and theories have to say on process drama?

Theatre is an art that transcends time and builds a new world for the audience atop the stage. A play is defined as “a dramatic composition” or “the stage representation of an action or story” (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary). This refers to drama being performed live by actors on a stage. Ancient Greece is accredited to inventing theatre and drama. In Greece during that time, at the height of popularity, were the stories of the well known flawed heroes and their journeys.
