“The presentation was very skillfully done and great fun. The children were fully drawn into the playing.
Jean Prall Rosolino kept her presentation moving while listening and responding to the kids and incorporating their reactions. Great!”

What Is Creative Drama?
Creative drama is an improvisational, non-exhibitional,
process-oriented form of drama, where participants are guided by a leader to imagine, enact,
and reflect on experiences real and imagined. Creative drama takes children’s natural world,
creative play, and develops it further, using theatre techniques, to create learning experiences
which are for the participants. Drama specialist, Brian Way states in Development Through Drama,
“Theatre is largely concerned with communication between actors and an audience; Drama is largely
concerned with experience by the participants.”
