Performance
Arts on Stage and on

The Two Types of
Theater Production
Performance Art
 It is an art form that combines visual art with dramatic
performance.
 The purpose of the act is not to entertain but to convey a
message in a dramatic sense.
 It is not the same as a theatrical play in the sense that it
does not depict a set of fictitious character following a
script.
Sam Penaso
 He is a contemporary artist and he
performed contemporary painting on
stage at Manila Doctors Hospital on
March 28, 2015 in celebration of Earth
Hour.
Nicolas Aca
 He stages a performance art on
the street to dedicate the second
anniversary of Typhoon
Yolanda.
 He led a dozen of volunteer
students from Capitol University
Dance Troupe and Cagayan de
Oro Arts Guild and walked mud-
soaked.
Theater Art
 It is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live
performers, typically actors or actresses, to present the
experience of a real or imagined event before a live
audience in a specific place, often a stage.
The Elements of
Dramatic Theatrical Art
PLOT – the arrangement of events which has beginnings, middle, and end.
CHARACTER – the principal material of the performance, the central focus of
the plot.
THOUGHT – the main idea or concept that the characters dramatize.
LANGUAGE or DICTION – the expression of meaning through the use of words.
SONG or MUSIC – the speaking, dancing, and singing part in the performance,
which includes sound of actors’ voices, incidental songs, and background
music, and instrumental accompaniment.
SPECTACLE – pertains to the visual elements of production that include
characters’ movement and spatial relations, lightning, settings, costumes, and
props.
DIRECTOR – puts together a variety of elements so that the audience can sit
and view a coherent theater performance.
PLAYWRIGHT – writes the story in a dramatic format.
THEATER SPACE – usually set on stage, which has four basic types.
The Four
Basic Theater Stages
Proscenium – the action takes place behind the proscenium
opening or frame of the stage, the seats in the auditorium
face the stage like the seats in a movie theater facing the
screen.
Arena or circle stage – the stage may either be raised a
few feet above the floor with seats rising from the floor level
or it may be on the floor with seats raised on levels around it.
Thrust stage – it is with three-quarter-seating arranged
in a semi-circle that encloses the stage protruding the
center.
Created or Found – stage space can be any kind of
structure that maintains its original architectural
elements intact.
