Other dramatic works

'Dramatic works' are those intended to be performed in a dramatic context, including choreography, dance, movement, stage plays, pantomimes, theatrical performances, and more. Films are also dramatic works under the Copyright Act, but due to the different levels of copyright involved they have special mention as 'cinematograph films' in the Act (see Audiovisual works above).

Original works in this category may have protection under the Act once they are recorded in material form (e.g., a video of choreography). Adaptations may also have their own protection. Learn more about dramatic works and copyright
