Designed with creativity, inclusivity, and durability at center stage, the Drama Deck is more than just a platform; it’s a foundation for imaginative play and outdoor learning that will inspire children for years to come. Read on to see how your space can act as a launchpad for imagination, confidence, and inclusivity for all types of outdoor events with a Drama Deck from Play Mart.
The Benefits of Performing Arts for Children
Imagine a place where little ones can step into the spotlight, shed their inhibitions, and explore their creative talents. The Drama Deck allows young minds to flourish through acting, dancing, singing, and storytelling. Outside the traditional classroom confines, kids feel a newfound freedom that enhances their posture, voice projection, and overall expressiveness. Whether it’s a Shakespearean play, a dance recital, or a captivating story time, the Drama Deck sets the stage for unforgettable performances.
We’re not being dramatic when we rave about the advantages of theater for kids. It’s not just us—research consistently emphasizes the numerous benefits of involving children in performing arts. From building academic prowess to enhancing cognitive skills, participation in performing arts is more than just child’s play.
Engaging in Performing Arts Develops Quick Thinking Abilities
When children take to the stage, they learn to think on their feet. Theater, dance, and music performances demand adaptability and problem-solving skills that extend beyond the stage. In school, these abilities can enhance their participation in presentations and classroom interactions.
One of the critical challenges of performance is overcoming stage fright. However, learning to handle this fear from a young age can set children up for success in future high-stakes situations. Strategies such as deep breathing and focusing on previous successful experiences can help quell the nerves, preparing them to tackle stressors with a calm demeanor. Believe it or not, studies have shown even improv theater can help ease anxiety!
Performers Learn to Express New Emotions
Performing arts provide a platform for children to explore and express a varied range of emotions. Acting, in particular, allows children to understand and emulate feelings of different characters, fostering empathy in them. For children who find it difficult to communicate their emotions, expressing themselves through dance or a character in a play can provide a great outlet.
Elevated Self-Esteem
There’s something incredibly empowering about the applause after a performance. It instills a sense of accomplishment and boosts a child’s self-esteem. However, it’s not just the applause but the process of working in a team, taking on responsibilities, and successfully navigating challenges that can build a child’s confidence. Whether performing a play, dancing, or performing a concert, our stages nurture self-esteem through self-expression.
A New Perspective of the World
Performing arts allow children to see the world through a unique lens. It fosters creativity and instills an appreciation for arts that they may not learn otherwise. While the skills learned during performances on the Drama Deck can be applied to various spheres of life, the experience itself is valuable, enriching a child’s worldview.
