PHYSICAL DISABILITY AND DRAMA ACTIVITY

Abstract

Drama activity presents a great challenge for ado­lescents with physical disabilities, and at the same time it provides them with much experience for life.
Adolescents are educated through theatrical activ­ity; they test numerous new roles, develop their attitude towards the art culture, and most of all they get the insight into different life situations, which have not been known to many of them so far. By experiencing different roles, an adolescent gets personal recognition, undergoes a process of personal changing and thus tests his or her per­sonal perceptions of life.
As regards drama activity we follow the presump­tion saying that being different is also an advan­tage.
The main purpose of the drama activity is gradu­ally realized through the programme: getting to know yourself and the theatre medium in general. Adolescents meet the multilayered communication and public appearance, which helps them in their personal life.
