Dramatic Arts |
In theatre, the artists
create an imagined world about human beings; it is the role of the
actor to lead the audience into this visual, aural, and oral world.
Students of theatre need to learn to see the created world of
theatre through the eyes of the playwright, actor, designer, and
director. Through active creation of theatre, students learn
to understand artistic choices and to critique dramatic works.
They should continue to use drama as a means of confidently
expressing their world view, thus developing their "personal voice."
Additionally, students of theatre view and construct dramatic works
as metaphorical visions of life that embrace connotative meanings,
juxtaposition, ambiguity, and varied interpretations. By
creating, performing, analyzing, and critiquing dramatic
performances, they develop a deeper understanding of personal issues
and a broader worldview that includes global issues. (National
