The Literary Elements of Drama…
why do these words look familiar?
The Literary Elements of drama might sound familiar because you have studied these terms in your English classes.
Plot Structure-Here are the terms that are associated
with plot structure:• Exposition- introduction of the main characters and
setting (time and place); characters build relationships and there is an initial incident that begins a conflict between them.
• Rising Action- characters make decisions regarding the initial incident; suspense builds; action becomes more complicated.
• Climax- point of highest emotion; turning point; characters change and make decisions
• Falling Action- resolution of character’s crisis• Denouement- “untying of the plot”; the resolution• Conclusion- the restoration of power; a celebration;
unity; whatever the plot calls for; usually depends on the genre (tragedy/comedy)
Suspense:How does this word apply
to drama?
• The state of being undecided, uncertain, or doubtful.
• A state of tension.
• Needed to sustain interest in drama.
Theme:What does this word mean?
• The underlying meaning of the story
• A universal truth
• A significant statement that the story is making about society, human nature or the human condition
Language & Style:
Don’t we all speak English?• The way the words are put together to create the story.
• The way the words are put together to define the character.
• Some characters speak in a dialect which is difficult to read when spelled the way the playwright wants it to sound; however, it is easier for actors to interpret.
• Conversational style/language is informal language; the way most people usually speak
• Iambic pentameter is a meter in poetry found in classic Greek poetry and Shakespeare’s writing. It is a line containing five sets of two syllables each, with the emphasis always on the second syllable (daDUM, daDUM, daDUM, daDUM, daDUM).
Monologue:This means one what?
• A lengthy speech by a character who is revealing his/her thoughts.
• Can be delivered alone to the audience or to another character
• Soliloquy is different; it is alone and innermost thoughts only
Dialogue:Is that what you do when you’re trying to
call someone?
• Speech between two or more characters onstage.
• Lines are preceded by each other’s name in a script.
Technical Elements
• The technical elements of drama add expression and enjoyment in the theatrical world.
SceneryWhat in the world is scenery?
• The painted pieces of a stage that suggest a location, time period, or the setting of the play
• Made of flats, painted canvas covered frames.
• Some theaters use flats with curtains, wood, cardboard, Styrofoam, paper mache and a variety of materials; creativity is the key
Sound:Is that why you can hear actors talk on
stage?
• Most scripts call for sound effects or mood music. If not a director or sound designer may create music for mood to be played before, during or after a performance.
• In today’s theater, hearing the play is important. Microphones must be managed from a sound booth. Knowing how to run a mixer board and understanding amplification are important skills needed by sound designers/runners.
Lights:Are those the yellow things on the left?
• Create a visual image for the audience based on the needs of the playwright, directors, actors
• Create mood, time, place• Change the colors of costume or enhances
the colors of the costumes• Adds to the color and vividness of the set,
bringing it out of the dark and into the imagination of the audience.
• Lighting designers are hired to work with the director to design the show. They need to have a working knowledge of electricity and technology because most lighting is computerized.
Make-UpDoes make-up make people look
better?
• Enhances the natural features of the face so that lighting does not “wash out” the color of the face.
• Creates the character• Special Effects make-up can be used; putty
can be used to build up noses, create scars; fake blood can enhance a look; a twenty-year old person can be made-up to look eighty-five; hair lines can be “soaped out” to create a bald spot or receding hairline.
• Works with the lighting and costumes to complete the effect needed to communicate character, time, place, setting to the audience.
Costumes:What are those people wearing?
• Create the overall feel of character, time, setting, place
• Add visual communication to the audience.• Define the type of character based on the
style and color of the costume• Dresses, suits, wigs, dance attire, and
vintage clothing can be used on stage• Often, costumes are designed and built for
performances.• Costume designers work with the director
to design the overall look for the play. A set of seamstresses and tailors make the costumes and then fit them to the actors and actresses.
Props:What are props?
• Short for “properties”• Set props- items that are stationary on the
stage; i.e. sofas, chairs, tables, decorations, telephones
• Hand props- items that are carried on by characters to enhance character, time, and setting or to be used for the action of the play; i.e. handbags, tea sets, teacher dusters, luggage, handkerchiefs, etc.
• Props are usually listed in the back o the script; however, some scripts require you to read through them and list your own.
• Some props may be built and painted.
