Benefits
of Theater
The benefits of
musical theater are enormous. The arts convey knowledge and meaning not learned
through the study of other subjects. They represent a form of thinking and a way
of knowing that is based in human imagination and judgment. The arts delight
children, but they are also intellectual disciplines of substance. Like language
or mathematics, the arts involve the use of complex symbols to communicate. To
attain competence in the arts, it is necessary to gain literacy with these
symbol systems. Some, like music and painting, use non-verbal symbols; others,
like poetry and song, use language in particular ways. Creative activity is also a source of joy
and wonder, while it bids its students to touch and taste and hear and see the
world. Children are powerfully affected by storytelling, music, dance, and the
visual arts. We've always known
that music is good for your spirits. Now, scientists are confirming that it's
good for your brain, too. According to new research, active music making has a
direct connection to the brain's inner workings-in fact; the brain seems to
operate according to patterns that closely resemble musical notes! Studies have linked
active music making with better language and math ability, improved school
grades, better-adjusted social behavior, and improvements in
"spatial-temporal reasoning," which is the foundation of engineering
and science as well as enabling a child to develop flexible creative abilities
which surveys indicate are becoming less common in today’s youth.
Dance education
provides experience in basic body movements, and maintenance of one's physical
fitness that provides carry-over to a child's entire life.
Control is attained through motor skill development, cardiovascular
fitness and emotional self-awareness. Physical education, just like any other
phase of education, is not restricted to only the development of its subject
area. Physical education gained through dance also contributes to the social,
emotional, and mental phases of the total education of the
individual.
Acting
in a cooperative theater group also allows children to grow socially.
Experiencing acceptance, respect and trust from caring
adults helps
children to develop these very qualities. Our student-actors become responsible
for their actions through awareness,
reflection, natural consequences, and the
evaluation of the positive and negative effects of their choices. We
expect our actors to be capable of self-discipline, focused attention, and
independent action. Students
learn responsibility, commitment, teamwork and theater skills while building
their self-confidence and becoming better citizens.
