Narrative Structures in Performance: Theoretical and Practical Considerations

This examination explores narrative structures within performance, analyzing their theoretical implications and practical applications across various contexts, including theater, dance, and performance art. The focus is on how narrative shapes audience engagement.

Understanding narrative structures is vital for both performers and theorists, as they fundamentally guide how stories are conveyed and perceived. This knowledge impacts artistic practices and contributes to broader discussions around storytelling in performance.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate relevant theoretical frameworks that inform narrative construction in performance, as well as their skill in analyzing the effectiveness of narrative devices.

Participants should prepare examples from diverse performance forms to illustrate their points, fostering discussions around narrative and its impact on audience interpretation.
