    ARTS

    Theater arts is a collaborative form of art where live performers act on stage before a group of audience in a specific
    place carrying out a story. Live performances like theater plays demand the expertise and collaboration of each
    member in the production team as well as the cast to produce a high-quality performance. One of the best examples
    of theater plays is Miss Saigon, where Lea Salonga was selected to play the lead role as Kim.
    Theatrical Forms
    A. Tragedy
    It is a dramatic play portraying the struggle of a strong-willed protagonist against fate, as predestined by mysterious,
    divine, social, or psychological forces, culminating in disaster and usually caused by a flaw in the protagonist’s
    character.
    B. Comedy
    It is a dramatic play of light and humorous character, typically with a cheerful and happy ending.
    C. Drama
    It is a play that is “for real”. The characters represent realistic and everyday people.
    D. Melodrama
    It is a dramatic composition characterized by extravagant theatricality and the dominance of plot and physical action
    over characterization.
    The Elements of Art as Applied to an Original Performance
    1. Sound and Music. These two elements set for the audience different moods and emotions. Through the use of
    different sounds, they provide different effects to the play that heighten the emotions of the characters and the
    audience.
    2. Gesture, Movement, and Dance. These are bodily movements or actions that usually express emotions, character,
    and narrative actions with accompanying sound or music. Every single gesture, movement or dance step conveys a
    meaning or message.
    3. Costume, Mask, Makeup, and Accessories. These comprise the visual effects, of which the main function is to
    enhance visibility and aesthetic value. They help make the character appear realistic according to the role he/she
    portrays.
    4. Spectacle. This is something exhibited for view as something unusual, notable, or entertaining, especially an eye-
    catching or dramatic public display which may be regarded as impressive and breathtaking and on stage if visual,
    lighting, sound, music, costumes, dance, and special effects are properly manifested in a play.
