Rather than an attempt to create professional child actors, the goal of Creative Drama is to guide a child to self-fulfillment through the process of theatre techniques. In this introductory course to Creative Drama, teachers will learn to create and implement drama exercises in their own classrooms and foster an environment where youngsters can feel comfortable to work creatively and think critically. Students will analyze the works of theorists in the field and be able to apply their ideas as well as formulate their own ideas into creative expression. Also, students will learn to contribute to their own students' development as thinking, feeling, and creative human beings. Students are expected to attend every class on time and contact the instructor prior to class should conflicts arise.
