When did drama develop into an art form?

It is really not difficult to visualise Drama as a result of the way people live and become creative about the most mundane as well as the most impressive, significant and exciting incidents or moments in life. Human communities pick times and happenings to commemorate. While this was a simple communal activity, it drew on people's creativity to bring life and meaning to ritual and ceremony. Naturally the next time it happens the ceremonial acts are improved on or made more significant in view of the hosts and their supporters or helpers. Since the whole/ most of the community are part of what takes place it gets more innovations, improvements, stylisations which will continue to grow as outside influences or new innovations in economies, new political ideas etc. bringing their influence. These simple beginnings are the ones which dramtic and theatrical works borrow from.
