ABSTRACT

This study puts out the dramatic elements in the masquerade festival of the kalabaris which is also the biggest festival in the kalabari kingdom. Measures were taken to put the study together: the use of journals, articles, textbooks, interviews and also a bit of the internet, to put information correctly and spot out the dramatic elements to the view of the public so as to understand a festival to be more than just a ceremony but a drama sending out message to the society or indigenes. In the process of the research, it was noticed that all the years Owu-Arusun have been celebrated it was never seen as a drama driven ceremony, it has always been understood as just a festival bent on believe, religion and culture. It is recommended that organizers should take critical measures on elements of festivals and dramatic elements and also young scholars should put up more articles, on dramatic elements that could be found in different festivals for a more understanding of what forms of dramatic elements a festival should be made off.



CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background of the Study

Generally festivals are known to be just a celebration of a particular culture of people, it is known to be putting up different activities in the art at celebrating. But it is important to know that in celebrations like festivals there are things to look out for such as; Dramatic elements. In every festivals there are actions to look out for, the way things are been done or carried out. The does, the do not and significance of what is done.

            The Owu-Arusun festival of the Kalabaris is sure loaded with a lot of dramatic elements though it features Masquerade and dance displays which the dramatic elements will be critically looked at and will make the society to understand that festivals are more than just a playing ceremony but has more to look at in a theatrical view.

            The practice of theatre began from all of these; festivals, rituals and other forms of cultural or human celebration that is why theatrical elements cannot be over looked no matter what the festivals is about there are always dramatic elements to spot out. And that is what will be done.

1.2       Statement of the Research

            Though there have been studies on different festivals including the Owu-Arusun festivals of the Kalabaris, No extension studies have been done on the theatrical elements. It is important to give a thorough break down on the theatrical elements and possibly their significance.

1.3       Purpose of the Study

            The purpose of this study is not just for the indigenes of Kalabari to understand more of the festival they have been partaking in, but for students and the society at large to also understand that the Owu-Arusun festival is not just a Masquerade festival but also have a great significance to its people and what the significance are.

2. The study did not cover all the theatrical elements. It was limited to what we could describe as page reach.

1.6       Significance of the Study

The preservation of our tradition through festivals is one of our greatest concerns of this technological era. This study becomes significant because it tries to review the importance of theatrical elements and how in the form of the elements tradition still holds its place through the festival. Like Yakubu Basic (cited in NSA) ( 2002:104):

Observes as traditional communities disappearance and ancient culture is over whelmed, billions are losing the sense of place and the sense of self that gave life a meaning.
