Recent studies have found that good thinkers are people who think with both the right and left sides of their brain. In any typical Drama class students will use both sides of their brain at some stages during the lesson. Drama helps them to improve both creative and analytical skills. Scientists now believe it is important that everyone gets more opportunities each day to use both the right and left sides of the brain on tasks such as those we do in Drama.- It helps students to develop their co-ordination skills
Through taking part in the variety of games, warm-up activities and physical movements used in Drama students are improving their physical co-ordination without even realising it.- It helps students to appreciate the artistic work of others
The skills they learn in Drama help them to better understand and appreciate those of actors, directors, musicians, and technicians in film, radio, television and theatre. The entertainment industry is one of the oldest employers of talent in the world. In Drama they learn how theatre in the past has influenced the entertainment industry of today.It allows students to develop their strengths
