ENACT
| Since 1987, ENACT has used its pioneering creative drama approach to promote self-awareness for dynamic change in students. ENACT's mission is to help New York City public school students learn social and emotional skills through creative drama and drama therapy techniques. |
ENACT’s professional actor-instructors engage in interactive classroom-based activities and specialized role-play, to help students become more productive in school and in their lives. The ENACT team – teaching artists, educators, social workers, and drama therapists – works collaboratively with teachers and administrators at schools all over the City to show students how to identify and remove the barriers that prevent them from learning. ENACT builds an atmosphere of trust within which students:
- Reflect on and communicate feelings
- Identify decision making moments
- Recognize the impact of one’s actions
- Navigate toward positive outcomes
In doing so, ENACT is transforming classroom environments into safe places where all can flourish.
