Key words in essays (1 Viewer)

[EroticCity]

Hi guys i know this sounds really dumb. In order to answer the essay questions 100% we need to understand what each key word is asking us. My teacher hasn't really explained this very well and i was wondering if you could help me to define them better...... Some may overlap, but here is what i've picked out so far from past questions:

Dramatic forms
Dramatic conventions
theatrical techniques
theatrical styles
theatrical features
dramatic action
stylistic devices
writing performance
design of its theatre




Thanks heaps!

hmmm.... i can't believe i'm doing this... i love helping... but this is so basic!

Dramatic forms
forms in drama, it's style eg: realism, surrealism, absurdism, etc

Dramatic conventions
what makes the piece ie: time, place, setting, uhh... costume... yeah?

theatrical techniques
the technique that is used ie: realism = realistic acting

theatrical styles
realism, absurd, surrealism, naturalism (like realism)... the different STYLES

theatrical features
features of the piece which make it ie: props, staging, set, etc

dramatic action
the ACTION that takes place through the characters

stylistic devices
how you know what style it is. if it's absurd HOW do you know it's absurd? what parts of the pice make you identify what style it is

writing performance
?????

design of its theatre
the DESIGN of the THEATRE

ok, so if anyone thinks any of these are worded wrong or incorrect, correct me... i can't believe you don't know any of this though? it's so basic! year 10 stuff, at least
