What is Creative Dramatics?
• An informal, improvisational, non-exhibitional, process-centered form of drama in which participants are guided by a leader to imagine, enact, and reflect upon human experiences through role-play, improvisation, pantomime, movement, and sound.
(American Alliance for Theatre and Education: www.aate.org)

What is Creative Dramatics?
It is a distinct discipline, art form, teaching tool and educational process for teaching and learning; it is a hybrid between theatre and education.
(Nellie McCaslin's Creative Drama in the Classroom and Beyond.)

Because Creative Drama:• Affirms that all people can play, that all
people can succeed at it, and that all people are creative; has no right or wrong answers.
• Develops people, is not a product; has experience and not performance as the goal.
• Promotes physical, mental and emotional learning.

skills, breath awareness, and voice control.• Enhances physical control and
awareness; develops gross and fine motor skills.• Encourages theatre and art appreciation,
provides accessibility; debunks the myth that only actors can use drama.
