Dramatic symbol

Dramatic symbol

A dramatic symbol is a prop, gesture, movement, or articulation in a theatrical or dramatic context that carries distinct symbolic meaning and adds to the complexity of a theatrical work or play. A dramatic symbol can be generated by an actor on stage, or it can be part of the theatrical design or stage picture. Mostly, dramatic symbols are suggested in a script or are designed by the director of a play. However, they can also emerge spontaneously in improvised dramatic work.
