I feel that the arts in all aspects are needed in schools no matter what the age is of pupils. Acting can benefit you throughout your life in day to day situations. Some of the things it can benefit are: interviews, sales, group collaboration skills, promotes leadership, empathy and general communication abilities can all be developed through the studying and practice of drama.

Thanks Alice - will this lead you to your inquiry questions? what aspect of drama will you focus on in arts education?
ReplyDeleteI recently read this article too Alice. I fully agree that drama is beneficial to everyone and is essential in developing key life skills, especially for school children. It would be great to chat about this as my topic of inquiry focuses on Drama therapy and incorporating techniques used into drama teaching.
