Did you know Albert Einstein’s birthday is World Imagination day on March 14th? Our Drama Kids have proven time and again that a mere spark of imagination can ignite into something brilliant. That if we imagine with all our mind, believe with all our hearts, and achieve with all our might, the possibilities are endless. You may be asking yourself, “Isn’t imagination just synonymous with ‘playtime’? What is my Drama Kid actually learning?” Well, studies show that an active imagination is a true key to success in life – beyond our childhood years!
How so…?
Enhance problem-solving skills…
If you can tap into your imagination, you have the capability of looking at obstacles in a different way! Instead of giving up when a problem arises, you can come up with multiple creative solutions.
Strengthens social skills and empathy…
When we can imagine ourselves in someone else’s shoes, it makes us a more understanding and open-minded individual. Empathy enables you to be more observant, be more collaborative, and encourages respect in an ever-growing digitalized world.
Improves memories…
Did you know, according to recent studies, that having an active imagination creates more neurons in your brain? If you continue to utilize your imagination throughout adulthood, then you are 73% less likely to develop memory problems later in life!
Promotes ambition…
As Walt Disney once said, “If you can DREAM it, you can DO it.” While daydreaming may seem like a waste of time, it’s not something you want to stifle! Daydreaming can inspire us to do great things – and developing these aspirations in our mind, judgement-free, can lead to serious success!
At Drama Kids, we are giving our student’s a safe place to develop their imaginations in a way that is so often discouraged in schools today. While self-expression may take a backseat in other programs, at Drama Kids we’re ALL about tapping into our student’s creativity! We never direct our students with an iron-fist, because we know their ideas are just as important as our own! There is never one right answer in our classroom; which is why class to class, and year to year, our program is never the same. Seriously! You could sit in on the same lesson multiple times and always discover something new! No two children’s imaginations are the same – so why should their characters be? Just imagine the possibilities!
