Theater play and performative expression have an enormous positive effect on the development of children and adolescents; it supports the formation of fine motor skills; it promotes the development of social behavior and empathy; it develops voice, speech and language awareness. In addition, theater play also has an extremely positive influence on self-confidence and the ability to reflect.
In addition, children and adolescents have great fun transforming themselves into other characters, inventing new realities and trying themselves out in them.
