The objectives of this paper are to study the strategy and the creativity of performing arts related to rituals and beliefs whose contents have reflected the social, environmental and political situations at that time. This paper has applied the communication approach of “Roman Jacobson’s Communication Model”, Semiology Model and Fine Arts Creativity Model.
After studying, it is found that the most important elements to express the ritual and belief through performing arts are body movements, music, playwright, costumes and setting. The second important elements are space occupying, actor casting, and stage lighting. However, the performing arts, related to rituals all over the world, have been originated from local belief which has been repeatedly practiced for ages. Consequently, the people believed its sacredness and they had been obliged to hold the holy ritual regularly in the belief that there would be good fortunes fall upon them and their society in return.
