Drama 8-9

Me facing myself and others.    

OVERVIEW 

ATH offers a teaching program adapted to the physical skills and psychological development that characterize the different ages. The program includes a period of general drama training for all groups, followed by theatre productions. 

During this time, children build their conception of themselves and their relationship with others. Consequently, in the 8-9-year-olds class, they learn how to play alone on stage. They will develop autonomy, independence, and responsibility with their actions. By leading a theatrical project together, they will learn the importance of supporting each other. On top of that, 8-9-year-old children start to memorize text and thus develop their language and learning skills.
