To live as was intended by our creator, means that students must be helped to develop expression, imagination, originality and creativity, for the service of the Lord and for others. For this, creative drama has an important place. We distinguish between creative drama, which all students should experience, and theatre arts, which involves the communication between actors and audience. Creative dramatics builds life skills using the self as medium, involving the total expression of a person. Through dramatics the child learns to express the joy, the freedom, and the fullness of life in Christ. The whole self is used to express worshipful praise to our creator, as seen through an exploration of the creation and our role in it. Students also reflect on the sadness, the brokenness, and the distortions caused by sin within society and within themselves, and the need for Christ's redemption in their life. Creative dramatics involves the development of creative expression that comes to be part of a full, creative life before the face of the Lord.
