The '''dramatic arts''' (also known as '''theater,''' especially in North America) are those areas of the [[arts]] involving performance, especially of the spoken word.  This is to be distinguished from [[theatre]] (a performance hall) as well as from the sense of [[drama]] meaning a genre of literature.
 
The term "drama" comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] "''δρᾶμα''" (a deed or act; by extension an [[action (praxis)]] represented on a stage).
