Play creation

Play creation means writing a play or making a play. Drama is another type of play. There are different steps to creating a play. A play needs a good idea. The idea makes a story. We create plays through the following ways.

1. Scripting
2. Improvisation

1 Scripting: This is the writing of a play. The written play is called the script. The owner of the story writes the script. He describes the types of people he wants in the play and the things they will be talking about. He also talks about what they would be doing and the places they would be at each time. A person that writes a play is called a playwright or a dramatist. Where we do a play is called a stage.

2 Improvisation: Improvisation is the acting of a play without a script. It is the creation of a play from narration of a story or an idea. The narration of a story is also called storytelling. A narrator tells the story or idea while the actors provide the dialogue (words to be spoken), movement, and action. The actors are the people doing the play. Because there is no script (written play), the words and actions in the play (improvisation) may change from time to time.

How to create a drama sketch from a story

A drama sketch is a short play. It may last about five to fifteen minutes. The steps to creating a drama sketch from a story include:

• Step 1: Read the story and understand it.
• Step 2: Read it again and write the names of all the people that are in the story. They are called characters.
• Step 3: Read the story again to know what each person said.
• Step 4: Write out what each person said beside their names.
• Step 5: Arrange the names and what they said according to when they said it.
• Step 6: Also try to know what each person (character) did each time in the story.
• Step 7: Write the character’s actions beside each dialogue. Write whether they are walking, eating, crying or talking with someone.
