It’s and mental health is one of the reasons I wanted to begin my new project! I have mentored many children with emotional and physical needs, that lack confidence and communication skills and have suffered neglect. To me, Drama has always been a personal saving grace but unfortunately, an underrated subject. I would love to see more Drama in Primary Schools! Drama is a community and a HUGE outlet for children’s emotions. It is a tool for problem solving that can be helpful in their own individual journeys (without them even realising!) If children have a chance to be involved in Drama before they reach Secondary School, I believe they will have a greater understanding of complex emotions, be better communicators and hopefully have a healthy and active mind!
