What is Creative Drama?

Drama is derived from the Greek word dran, which means 'to do something' and 'to play'. In essence, creative drama aims to deal with human and human society relations. In the creative drama process, people embark on their own development journey with other group members without feeling pressures such as being admired or despised. In this journey, people develop themselves by educating and walk without being bound by a scenario. There is no role, the imagination and knowledge of the participant make up their improvisation.

The Importance of Creative Drama

In creative drama, like many rituals in closed groups, people try to carve their own raw stone and contribute to the temple of humanity. However, unlike the 'advice' or 'exam' systems in other groups in creative drama, the principle of volunteering also makes the participant feel more free. In this way, the individual develops his/her self-confidence in awareness of his/her own limits through the activities he/she participates in. Development gains momentum by being supported by one's imagination and creativity.

Benefits of Creative Drama

The education process removes the individual from individuality, improves his language skills and enables him to use written and verbal communication correctly in the communities he participates in.

Characteristics of Creative Drama
