I am requesting charts, scripts, books, puppets, and stage to help my students to explore stories of their cultures while also developing their expressive and emotional skills. Coming out of the COVID isolation has presented new challenges for our kids. They have been deprived of in-person socialization and the emotional strain has been evident.
Theatre provides a safe way for them to express themselves emotionally and interact with others. Theatre games, techniques, and performance help them develop their emotional intelligence, explore difficult emotions and ideas, ask or present conflicts that are sometimes hard to put in words but clearly felt when acted out.
The inclusion of puppets, mime, and spoken theatre allows the students the ability to choose their preferred voice. Puppets give them "representative or advocate" for themselves. Physical theatre helps them embody or "physicalize" their thoughts and stories. Spoken theatre gives them the words to speak their own stories.
The products in this project give them the tools they need to begin their journey.
