The Role of Theater in Social Development.
Through the magic of dramatic play, participants have the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings about life’s challenges, forming a close-knit community. Through interactive drama, individuals experience personal success and growth, transforming their reality and gaining a healthier sense of self as they take on the roles of director and change maker in their own lives.
Participants develop essential life skills, from problem-solving and empathy to resilience and creativity. At our center, we celebrate diversity, encourage self-reflection, and foster a culture of collaboration and innovation. Here, every individual is encouraged to embrace their uniqueness, voice their opinions, and envision a brighter future.
PEER MENTORS.
Peer mentors play a crucial role in supporting neurodiverse individuals by providing opportunities for collaboration, constructive feedback, effective communication and listening. In this dynamic, both neurodiverse participants and peer mentors ​​gain valuable insights into inclusivity and honing leadership skills.
I love being a mentor because it has given me tons of new opportunities and allowed me to build relationships with both artists and mentors while having fun in class!
