In ancient Greece, art was divided into music, painting, sculpture, architecture and poetry, and drama was classified as poetry. The real drama art should include poetry (literature), music, painting, sculpture, architecture, dance and other artistic elements, so it is called comprehensive art.
Every art has its own special means of expression, thus forming the external form of image. Drama, as a comprehensive art, combines various artistic expressions, and their direct and external manifestations in the complex are as follows: ① literature. Mainly refers to the script. ② plastic arts. Mainly refers to scenery, lighting, props, clothing, makeup. ③ Music. Mainly refers to sound, episode, music, etc. In theatrical performances, there are also tunes and vocals in operas and operas. ④ Dance. Mainly refers to the dance elements contained in the art of dance drama and opera, which are transformed into the performing art of actors-the action art in drama.
Various artistic factors in drama play different roles, and their status in the whole is unequal. In the drama complex, the actor's performance art is in the center and dominant position, and it is the noumenon of drama art. The means of performance art-body movements and lines-are the basic means of drama art, and other artistic factors are melted by noumenon. Script is the basis of drama performance, which directly determines the artistry and ideological content of drama. As a literary form, although it can be read by people like novels, its basic value lies in its performability. A script that can't be performed is not a good play. The value of musical elements in drama performance, whether it is interlude, soundtrack or sound, mainly lies in the synergistic effect of actors shaping the stage image. The plastic arts elements in drama performance, such as scenery, lighting, props, costumes, makeup, etc., also play a specific auxiliary role in shaping the stage image of actors from different angles. Taking the actor's performance art as the noumenon, it absorbs and integrates various artistic elements to form the external form of drama art.
There are various forms of theatrical performances, including drama, opera, ballet, musical, puppet show and so on. Drama is more suitable for most students to perform.
Our "musical drama performance" mainly covers three aspects. First, drama appreciation and common sense. Second, theatrical performances. Third, drama creation. The teaching purpose of musical drama performance is to cultivate students' interest, broaden their artistic horizons and improve their aesthetic ability. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen drama appreciation, organize students to watch drama performances in a planned and targeted manner, guide students to learn, feel and understand all kinds of drama works, and enrich drama experience. Performance and creation should be carried out on the basis of appreciating teaching, so as to effectively stimulate students' desire to perform, enrich the experience of drama performance and be of great help to students' performance.
