DRAMA TECHNIQUES

Drama techniques, also called drama strategies, are effective means

to convey to audiences what a performer would like to express either
in verbal or non-verbal means. Identified below are five drama
techniques which help improve performance of actors or actresses in a
drama. They are commonly employed to sharpen the skills and innate
talents of performers.
1. BODY MOVEMENTS
One has to remember that a character can also be conveyed
through posture, gesture, eye contact and facial expressions aside
from the vocal expressions. In such manners, audience instantly
identify with a character type or understand a situation without a
single word being spoken.
For example, when a character is angry at another character, the
body language should be reflected in a tense manner. The actor
might move back and forth within a small space, and clench his
fists. These bodily movements on stage show anger. On the other
hand, when a character is relieved or excited, a relaxed shoulder
could mean expression of openness and contentment. One could
improve this technique by simply watching real-life examples.
2. SPACE
Another important technique and a must-know in drama production
is on the use of space. This element is important as positioning of
objects and bodies on the stage and the relationships between
them are vital means of making meaning to the audience. Your
space on stage is important so as the space of your fellow
performers. Hence, it is very important to be aware of your space
and position because it affects everything from lighting and sound
to camera angles and even audience perspective. If you know how
to make use of the space around you will be able to project a more
authentic character and will make it easier for other actors to do
their jobs on stage as well.
3. VOICE
How an actor speaks their lines instantly identify personality and
emotion. Vocal dynamics on volume, pitch, pausing, intonation,
pace and accent can all influence audience understanding of a
character and the tension of the scene. To professional performers
in theatrical productions, skills in vocal projection are incredibly
important.
4. MOVEMENT
The effective use of timing, direction and energy to build a
sustained sequence of movement can enhance understanding of
character and the meaning of a scene. This drama technique is
directly related to space as they work together to build the
character and what the character wants to project on stage.
5. IMPROVISATIONAL TECHNIQUES
These are instant responses and actions off the records of the
stage directions. The use of adlibs is one great example of
improvisation techniques used by performers. These drama
techniques are but a few of the many that directors and drama
productions give to their performers.
