Drama
Drama (Classical Greek δρᾶμα) is a literary form involving parts written for Actor to perform. It is a Greek word meaning “action”, drawn from the (Classical Greek δρᾶν), “to do”.
Dramas can be performed in various media: live performance, Radio, Film, and-or Television. Closet drama are works written in the same form as plays (with dialogue, scenes, and “stage directions”), but meant to be read rather than staged. Drama is also often combined with music and dance, such as in Opera which is sung throughout, musicals which include spoken dialog and songs, or plays that have musical accompaniment.
Improvisational drama, a form of Improvisational theatre, is drama that has no set script, in which the performers take their cues from one another and the situations (sometimes established in advance) in which their characters find themselves to create their own dialogue as they perform. Improvisational drama is made up on the spot using whatever space, costumes or props are available.
