Students are expected to discuss the materials of a selected drama style that they have learned about for this class. It should be written representing diasporic views/ideas and the students should focus on two different world regions and compare two separate drama forms of their choice. Students are expected to use other trustworthy sources of their choice such as online research, movies, books, research articles etc., along with the class readings.
The final paper demands students to prove that they understand what diaspora means and to engage their thoughts and ideas with the concepts of diaspora and diasporic views and apply them to clarify a particular drama style from Asia. In doing so, they are expected to read, write and analyze, critically and recognize the influences and interactions between Asian region/s and some other part of the world while paying attention to specific features and depictions related to their chosen drama style.
Students are graded based on their understanding of the material and how they discuss the diasporic views in two chosen world regions. The paper should be formal and needs to be typed in 12-point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, have one-inch margins, and must be at least five full pages.
I have already write a brief summary for this paper below, you can write it based on this and develop it:
For my final paper, I prepared to write about Peking opera which is a traditional drama type in China and Indonesian theatre which is from the South Asia. For introducing these two different forms of drama styles, I will compare the diverse cultures and distinguishing features between them as the same time interact them together. I will convey my thoughts with the concepts of diasporic views as well.
Thank you so much!

Dan is the second type, and it includes women’s roles. Streng (2012) says that the female roles under this type are categorized into middle-aged women who are often mothers, female warriors, and maids. The characters can be flirtatious, while others can be shy, but this is dependent on the specific requirements of the characters. In the past, men impersonated women for the role. The entry of women performing their rightful roles since the 1930s has marked a change in Peking opera. The third role is Jing. This is the painted face of a male, and the personality is dominant. Often, these characters possess supernatural powers, and the role comes with headdresses, makeup, elaborate costumes, and beards. Chou is another role played by males. The character plays secondary roles, and the role is often classified as minor. Chou can perform civilian roles like jailers and merchants and military roles. The characters are amusing, and their costumes can be of lower or higher statuses. Makeups and costumes form a primary role in Peking opera. Every role has specific makeups and costume colors.
