Structural Classification of Narrative Techniques in the Performance Arts

Narrative methods is one of the complex and ongoing human challenges. Perhaps the first human question in the communication process has been, "How do I quote this?" This is a question that still persists today. In addition, other questions arise in the minds of narrators: "What are the main elements of storytelling?", "What are the narrative methods?" And "What method should I use to tell this story?" Evidence shows that, apart from the serious but general efforts of Plato and Aristotle or the unqualified theorizing of other scholars, nothing did in this field and didn’t establish a comprehensive system for the classification of these methods. This qualitative research was conducted by descriptive-analytical method using reliable library documents and sources, to achieving a comprehensive classification of narrative methods for the use of narrators. So, the definitions of the narrative and the main elements of the narrative were analyzed, and then are identified, and then a comprehensive model was provided to classifying Narrative methods in the performing arts using these elements and considering the previous classifications and describing and analyzing important structural theories about the narrative.
