Benefits of Drama Therapy
What is drama? It is about reading and portraying emotions through voice and body language. It is about developing a relationship with fellow actors onstage. It is about interpreting a script and reacting to a situation. These are the same skills we use in our everyday interpersonal interactions. Improv games and the dramatic arts are effective in developing important social and life skills.
These benefits include:
Self-confidence not only in performing, but in interaction
Improved self-esteem; pride in their accomplishments
Improved recognition of emotions in others
Improved identification and labeling of own emotions
New leisure time activity in a group where they can be successful
New awareness of volume levels and beginning modulation of level
New skills for functioning as part of a group
New skills for following directions
Improved ability to interact with peers
Increased self-confidence through success

Benefits of Theater
Research reveals the positive impact of drama and theater on a student’s physical, emotional, social and cognitive development.
Self Confidence: Taking risks in workshops and performing for an audience teach students to trust their ideas and abilities. The confidence gained in drama applies to school, career and life.
Imagination: Making creative choices, thinking of new ideas and interpreting familiar material in new ways are essential to theater and developing a creative mind.
Empathy: Acting roles from different situations, time periods and cultures promotes compassion and tolerance for others’ feelings and viewpoints.
Cooperation/Collaboration: Theater combines the creative ideas and abilities of its participants. This process includes discussing, negotiating, rehearsing and performing together, all of which are important and applicable life skills.
Concentration: Playing, practicing and performing develop a sustained focus of mind, body and voice, which also helps in other school subjects and life.
Communication Skills: Theater enhances verbal and nonverbal communication. It improves voice projection, articulation of words, and fluency with language. It also encourages listening skills.
Problem Solving: Students learn how to communicate the who, what, where and why to the audience. Improvisation fosters quick-thinking solutions, which leads to greater adaptability in life.
Fun: Theater brings play, humor and laughter to learning, which improves motivation and reduces stress.
Emotional Outlet: Pretend play and theater games allow students to express a range of emotions. Aggression and tension can be released in a safe, controlled environment, reducing antisocial behaviors.
Relaxation: Many theater activities reduce stress by releasing mental, physical and emotional tension.
Self – Discipline: The process of moving from ideas to actions to performances teaches the value of practice and perseverance. Theater games and creative movement improve self-control.
Trust: The social interaction and risk taking in theater develop trust in self, others and the process.
Physical Fitness: Movement in theater improves flexibility, coordination, balance and control.
Memory: Rehearsing and performing words, movements and cues strengthen the memory like a muscle.
