DT1000 Drama and Theatre Communication Course description

Drama is a form of aesthetic awareness. It examines the big questions in life through perception of others’ experience and the creation of personal dramatic style. Drama and theatre are important parts of the cultural scene, at both the amateur and professional level, and are included in school teaching at all levels.

;

Drama is also an aesthetic subject with roots in both theatre art and educational science. Drama unites aspects of both these fields in a separate discipline. The link to theatre art is highlighted by the emphasis on skills in and knowledge of theatre history, the language of theatre, dramaturgical devices and acting, among other things. The subjects’ educational science aspects are evident in that drama links learning and upbringing to children’s development through play and other creative activities. One of the special things about drama is that you use your own body and voice as a means of dramatic expression in interaction with others. Drama can therefore promote personal and social development through the use of imagination, creativity, design and cooperation skills.
