SESSION 11
DRAMA: PART TWO
Dramatic Technique
Session Objectives
At the end of the session the student will;
Asides: When a character temporarily turns away from another character and
speaks directly to the audience.
Entrance and exits: When characters exit and enter a scene. It is always
worthwhile to pay particular attention to what is being said as they enter or
what they say as they leave.
Soliloquy: When a character is alone on stage and speaks out his or her thoughts
aloud. Language that invites action A character can say something that requires others
to act or react. By the way, how does this differ from a monologue?
There are many other techniques that dramatists adopt in order to make their plays
successful and appealing to audiences. Can you think of some others not mentioned
above? Does the use of sound or lightening in staging plays, for instance, constitute a
dramatic technique? Why? Can you tell what techniques are being used in the next
slide?
