What Is a Stimulus in Drama?
In a drama, stimuli are resources that are used to establish the context, focus and purpose of the dramatic topic being presented. Materials used as stimuli can be visual or aural in nature and can represent various genres and forms of either Western theater or theater traditions from other cultures. Different forms of stimuli include music, moving images and film clips, as well as various forms of literature.
Stimulus materials are used during tests and lessons for students of drama. Resources for stimulus materials could be recorded clips of movies or theatrical plays. These clips are then used for analytical assessment. Other materials that can be used for this purpose include dramatic texts or dramatic readings.
