Dramatic Theory
Dramatic Theory is a framework used to analyze and understand the structure and elements of drama and performance. It encompasses various aspects, including character development, plot structure, and thematic exploration. Key figures in this field include Aristotle, whose work "Poetics" laid foundational principles for analyzing tragedy and comedy.
This theory also examines the relationship between the audience and the performance, focusing on how emotions and meanings are conveyed through dialogue, action, and staging. Different schools of thought, such as Stanislavski's system and Brecht's epic theatre, offer unique perspectives on how drama can be created and interpreted.
