    INTRODUCTION

    Filipino poets are in danger of extinction


    said by some of the poets themselves, this is
    same with the playwrights (those who write
    dramatic plays) and scriptwriters. The
    entries submitted in the Carlos Palanca
    Award are not the same as before, it did not
    even reach a quarter of the former. But still
    there is an emergent poetic genre for young
    ones, this form of performance poetry,
    called spoken word founded by Sarah Kay
    that was fascinated about because her two
    secret loves –poetry and theatre – had come
    DRAMA
     It came from the Greek word,
    “Drao” which means “action”.
    DRAMA
     It is a performing arts; a story told
    in dialogue and performance by
    actors on the stage, in front of the
    audience.
     Their creators are known as
    “dramatists” or “playwrights”.

    6 Aristotelian
    Elements of Drama
    1. Plot/Dramatic Structure
    It is the order or the sequence of events. Try to
    recall how a narrative is divided using Freytag’s
    Pyramid from the exposition, to the rising
    action, reaching the climax, then sliding down
    to the falling action, and to close the story, the
    denouement. This formula is also used in
    drama. It is called dramatic structure.
    A play can be divided into acts (mga yugto).
    The shorter one is called one-act play, while
    the longer one is the full-length play or
    three-act play.
     
    In a three-act play, each act usually has
    different tone:
    first act having a lot of introductory elements;
    (The most commonly used, but not always)
    second act can usually be the darkest, with
    the antagonists having a greater encompass;
    third act is the resolution, with the
    protagonist prevailing.
    6 Aristotelian
    Elements of Drama
    2. Characters/Actors
    Character is another element of drama. In some plays
    like Joaquin’s Play, you will notice that a short
    description of each character- what they are
    or how they are reacted to each other- is
    mentioned right away. This a big help for the
    director and actors. The actors will be able to
    internalize their role. The actors are the ones
    who portray the role of the characters in the
    story. The characters do not have to be humans. They
    could be animals or inanimate objects depending on the
    6 Aristotelian
    Elements of Drama
    3. Thought/Theme

    The theme of a play refers to its central


    idea. It can either be clearly stated through
    dialog or action, or can be inferred after
    watching the entire performance.
    The theme is the philosophy that forms the
    base of the story or a moral lesson that the
    characters learn.
    6 Aristotelian
    Elements of Drama
    4. Diction/Dialogue

    Dialogue (sometimes spelled dialog in


    American English) is a written or spoken
    conversational exchange between two or
    more people, and a literary and theatrical
    form that depicts such an exchange.
    Diction is a writer's or speaker's choice of
    words and way of arranging the words in
    sentences.
    6 Aristotelian
    Elements of Drama
    5. Spectacle/Setting
    Setting is another element of drama. As in a written
    narrative, the setting should be clear in your
    script. Your script must specify the details of
    the place where the story is happening. When
    you write a script, you do not just say for example,
    that the scene happens at a house. Keep in mind the
    ff:
     Mention what part of the house the scene is
    taking place.
     Mention where the house is located.

    Elements of Drama
    6. Music/Song
    When music is played beneath a scene
    and used to help create mood, this is
    called underscoring. For example, a
    scene on a deserted road at night might
    be underscored by spooky music and
    sound effects to help create an
    atmosphere of fear.
    Activity 4: Radio Drama
    Divide the class into 4 groups. Choose a leader.
    Make a script of your chosen genre. May it be
    Comedy or Tragedy. After making a script, assign
    the roles of the characters to your classmates and
    record your voices like a typical Radio Drama.
    Choose an editor or someone who is an expert
    when it comes to techy stuff for a compilation or
    build up of the sequence of events in your story. Put
    some sound effects into it, to make it more lively.
    There will be 2 outputs for this Activity, the script and
    the audio recorded file.
