It's because morally good characters are rewarded and the evil ones punished. . To hear or read the words "Once upon a time..." tells us that in the end all will be well.We need fairy stories now more than ever because we are seeking reassurance that Justice, Peace, and Love will triumph. "Goodwill" is an enormously creative and powerful force for change. Goodwill transcends cultures and religion.One way of expressing goodwill is through storytelling to children. The children could make up their own stories which then form the basis of the dance.This would allow children to express their own interests, emotions and movement needs. Adults could use dance drama therapy sessions as an opportunity to work on problems or to encourage certain aspects of behavior. Even educational themes like numbers or spelling could be used as a topic Creating a dance drama for children with special needs encourages them to create their own dialogue. Children with hearing or speech problems can sign their parts. However, theraputic dance drama does not always have to include dialogue. We could also use mime. We need to view mime as another means of using the arts to help children with emotional and learning difficulties. Permalink -- click for full blog post |
