Dramatized Experiences

By dramatization, we can participate in a reconstructed experience, even though the original event is far removed from us in time.

Formal plays

Tableau

Pantomime

“art of conveying a story through bodily movements only” Its effect on the audience depends on the movements of the

actors.

Puppets

Role-playing

which both participant and spectators are engaged. A creative

interaction takes place, a sharing of ideas.”

-Edgar Dale
