Can drama still be performed even with the absence of a single element? Why or why not.

Can. With caveats.

Without 1: Pretty boring.

Without 2: Pretty pointless.

Without 3: Pretty cold.

Thanks

Without 1: Pretty boring.

I want to point out that most of our drama, and the best of it, doesn't actually have any actors, it's just the audience fighting between each other.

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts."

Audiences can be actors. Nothing in the rulebook says they can't.

A packed theater in a hurricane could stir some excitement.

You're digging that anal huh

We all have interests

And also could you answer my question?

Stop trying to use the internet to cheat at your homework.

how is this homework.

these kids aren't learning shit I cant wait til Betsy Devos fucking fires all their teachers and replaces them with Christians

This is the point in the thread that I realized I was in /r/drama

What you have there are elements of a play.

Drama needs a catalyst.

A troll.

Bump.

No. Without the elements there's no chemistry.

They only want to get rid of one element. I'm sure you could get rid of Mendelevium and still have Drama.

If you try to make water without hydrogen, all you've got is oxygen.

Woah dude trippy.

All the world's a stage,

And all the autists and retards merely players

Stagehands at best.

I thought the stagehands signed the van out to drive them to the zoo...

You need the actors, otherwise known as the performers. Can't really perform without them. The audience is circumstantial. The actors probably want them there to get that high from being in front of the audience, but without a real audience the actors themselves are still witness to the show. Also you don't need a theater and you can't not have a stage simply because all the world's a stage.

The audience is circumstantial

not very Brechtian

I don't need a theater or stage to say you're a fucking cunt.

Jesus Christ. Y u do dis?

Ain't Cocaine great?

The world's a stage ya dip.

Can the self be an audience? Is this the key to psychodramatic magic?

Do your own homework, kid.

What do you have against punctuation

Thanks
