THEATRE

Overcoming the fear of public speaking.

Through the performing arts, children are uninhibited. They show themselves as they are in front of the world, and gain confidence and security in themselves.

  • Children's theater fosters camaraderie and helps eliminate shyness. Drama exercises often require collaboration with peers. The children learn to socialize and work as a team.
  • Drama helps to understand and value the importance of being consistent at work. The goal of drama is not achieved immediately. Therefore, one must work regularly to achieve it. Some children may get frustrated when they don't see results the next day. But if they persist, they can enjoy the fruits of their efforts.
  • Children learn to connect with others, identify and reflect on their emotions. Putting themselves in someone else's shoes, whether in real life or in a theater role, helps them understand different ways of seeing the world.
  • Children gain perspective, self-esteem, security, and confidence by understanding their feelings and what is happening to them.
  • It conveys great values, such as equality, respect, commitment, responsibility, tolerance, and collaboration.
  • All this learning is done through fun and games. It is essential that children enjoy the activities they are doing.

 

Structuring the child imagination

Children have no trouble engaging in imagination. And to invent funny or absurd situations or to play different characters. It is simply necessary to help them to channel their proposals and to structure this overflowing imagination.

In theater workshops, children explore their capacity as actors. They play with different bodies, voices, attitudes, and skills.

Children often have to develop the stereotypes they are imitating. However, they can also imagine the reactions of the characters to different situations, be it realistic or fantastical.

Channeling Body Language

Training through exercises and improvising allows them to become aware of several points: the body (being well anchored in the ground to concentrate and have a presence); the audience (speaking loudly, articulating well, maintaining eye contact); and the stage space where they are performing.

Entertainment in a relaxed atmosphere

Maple Bear Casablanca sets a "non-judgmental" framework by explaining from the very first class session that theater is about having fun. But there are rules about listening and respect. We continually focus the children to remain in a positive attitude with each other. We teach them to give each other constructive feedback: they can say what they thought about the scene or the improvisation, but they have to remain caring and constructive in their feedback. They first say what they liked and then what can be improved.

The theater is a game with all the dimensions of pleasure. And like all games, there are rules. The children integrate them very quickly because they are similar to those established in class.

Performing a theater show that has been prepared for a whole year brings contagious pleasure, amplified by stage fright and excitement.
