Page 601: The relation of "theater" and "drama":
Have you ever thought about the connecttion of "theater" and drama"?First of all, we discuss about dramma. It refers to the literary basis of a theatrical presentation. In addition, the written record contains the essential elements of the human experience performed in the theater. However, in this view, theater is merely the physical expression of the playscript. In European theater, the written word has normally been the basis of presentation, this formulation does not apply so readily to the Oriental theater, where gestural and musical presentation has usually taken precedence over verbal presentation. Therefore, to define theater as the embracing art of presentation that includes the performance of mimetic activity. In this view, theater contains not only drama but also circus, dance, opera, and puppetry.

Theater in Education
TIE uses theater as part of the educational process, focusing on contemporary social and political issues. Collaborative working practices are at the heart of the TIE movement. Plays are rarely self-contained, standalone entities: interactive workshops are usually an important part of the educational process. The performance elements of a TIE programme are thus often no less collaborative than the creating process itself.
