Theatre In Education
Theatre at VVP was introduced in the formative years of the school. This uniquely developed curriculum uses aids, which are non-threatening and enjoyable, to help children develop a greater awareness of their bodies, their minds and their capabilities. This moulds children in a way wherein they pick up skills of self- help and also feel empowered. It is a great boost for them to pick up the public speaking skills which play a major role in today’s career arenas.
Just like sports, we have found Theatre technique to improve creativity, academic and social skills, physical and mental alertness and for the overall development of the personality of a child.
The three major take away from picking up Theatre subject for children is:
- They learn to explore and train their own bodies, voices and minds so that they are able to express their thoughts, ideas and feelings in a more confident way.
- They start learning, understanding and respecting the diverse views and attitudes of people belonging to different cultures, communities and faiths.
- It helps children contribute towards building compassion and empathy towards each other and the world at large.
