Student Programs
ENACT's student programs are conducted within a classroom setting for Grades K to 12. Using ENACT's signature role-play techniques and theater games, students learn to create scenes and use improvisational drama to see and act out the many challenges they face and experience themselves from different perspectives. Topics include:
- Peer Pressure
- Violence and Its Traumatic Effects
- Diversity Issues
- Child-Adult Relationships
The ENACT teaching artists work to create a safe place for self-expression, which can, in turn, lead to self-awareness and behavior change. Students learn to reflect on and communicate feelings, identify decision-making moments, recognize the impact of their actions, self-regulate their behavior, and navigate toward positive outcomes.
Residencies can run anywhere from a week to 15 weeks and are customized to the particular needs of each school. ENACT offers programs after-school and on Saturdays; however, it is preferable to work within the context of the school day where it is easier for students to participate.
