Now before you teach with any creative drama
or utilize any creative drama in your classroom,
it's essential that you do one thing and that
one thing is create a safe environment. And
what I mean by that is establish however you
do it, however you want to go about this,
there's lots of different options but make
it clear to the students that there is no
right or wrong in creative drama. They cannot
fail. No one is going to laugh at them. They
are not going to get hurt. They will not be
embarrassed. Whatever it takes to create an
environment where a student feels comfortable
getting up and driving the car or whatever
the activity is, that's what you have to do
because if a student feels safe, they will
participate in a creative drama activity and
if they fail at it, they really haven't failed.
Because we already established the rules of
creative drama that there is no such thing
as failing. That there is no such thing as
right or wrong. You get up, you try it, you
do it again.
