Theater

Theater is an endless field of fun and education at the same time. 

To do theater it is not necessary that the child has to be an artist and has to have an innate skill, it is enough that children want to have fun, invent and interpret stories, and make friends.

The play is performed through games and group or individual activities. They are ideal to help children to develop verbal and body expression, and to stimulate their memory capacity and mental agility. It also helps children retain dialogues and tongue twisters which can improve and favor their diction.

With acting, children increase their self-esteem, they learn to respect and live together in a group. Also they know and control their emotions, they discover what discipline and perseverance are at work. In addition to acting in public.

The theater can also serve to:

• Strengthen academic tasks such as reading and literature.
• Update children in subjects such as language, art and history.
• Help in the socialization of children, especially those who have difficulty communicating.
• Improve the concentration and attention of children.
• Transmit and instill values.
• Promote children to reflect.
• Encourage the use of children's senses.
• Motivate the exercise of thought.
• Stimulate creativity and imagination.
• Make children feel safer.
• Help children play with their fantasy.

Theater entertains and educates children

Kids, in children's theater, do not do or learn theater. They play to create, invent and learn to participate and collaborate with the group. Group work, psychomotor exercises and physical contact between partners are the basis of dramatic education.

In children, the theater should not be limited to the performance of a show. Children's theater should be seen as an experience that is acquired through play.
