INSIDE OUT WITH DRAMA - Focusing on their emotions
By now, we all know that Drama classes help boost your child's social skills, boost their confidence in situations, but have we ever thought of one very crucial benefit that is so obvious but we never really see? Its the rein in of emotions
Drama helps us to keep in touch with all of the emotions that we haven't necessarily been able to feel or express.
In Drama classes , during dramatic plays, the children are usually in one character or the other, these characters more often than not, portray different emotions. In our drama classes, at the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy, Lagos Island,we teach children how to bring out the right emotion that goes in line with each character, the context in which to show which emotion, and more importantly, how to pull back on it when it is time to do so.
Even when they are done with their drama lessons, this ability to be able to control their emotions stays with them and its becomes a very useful attribute as they grow older.
In our drama classes, they will be taught how to:
- Develop an ability to read other people's emotions
- Develop an ability to identify and to express one's own feelings or emotions
- Receive permission to have a wide range of feelings
- Build a vocabulary of words for naming feelings
