“Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand.”

Drama is an important means of stimulating creativity in problem Solving. The Club challenges the perceptions about the external world. Dramatic exploration can provide students with an outlet for emotions, thoughts, and dreams that they might not otherwise have means to express. While enacting a drama, a student becomes another and explore a new role, try out and experiment with various personal choices and solutions to very real problems – problems from their own life, or problems faced by characters in literature or historical figures. This can happen in a safe atmosphere, where actions and consequences can be examined, discussed, and in a very real sense experienced without the dangers and pitfalls that such experimentation would obviously lead to in the real world. This is perhaps the most important reason for the institution of Drama Club.

Drama also helps students develop tolerance and empathy. In order to play a role competently, an actor must be able to fully inhabit another’s soul. An actor must be able to really understand how the world looks through another person’s eyes. In today’s increasingly polarized and intolerant culture, the ability to understand others’ motives and choices is critical. Drama can help build responsible global citizens.
