-Bringing Aesthetic Education to Campus Initiative
Drama education, as a unique form integrating artistic expression with educational goals, provides comprehensive support for adolescents’ cognitive, emotional, and social development through methods like improvisation, role-playing, and experiential learning. Its core value lies in unlocking potential, shaping character, and helping youth build a multifaceted skillset through theatrical activities.
An Immersive Journey of Growth: Unlocking the Inner World This is an immersive journey blending drama and music—a musical theatre experience igniting the light of growth. Using art as a bridge, it leads students to explore their inner selves and engage in heartfelt dialogue.
-Highlights:
– Authentic Resonance of Original Script: Narrated from the perspective of Vanessa, a transfer student. From being an “invisible” wallflower with social anxiety to becoming the radiant lead singer of the campus band “The Five Notes,” Vanessa and her friends confront growth challenges like academic pressure and parent-child communication through songwriting.
– Emotional Decoding through Artistic Expression: Transforming pressure into melody, the performance reveals inner conflicts and resolutions through song, improvisation, and sound sculpture exercises.
– Specially Designed Segment: “The Undefined Me – The Invisible”: Through drama games and learning the song “The Invisible,” this segment breaks the limits of self-perception and uncovers overlooked potential strengths.
Drama education, as an important component of aesthetic education, not only cultivates students’ artistic literacy but also enhances their expression ability, team collaboration skills, and emotional comprehension. In the future, with technological advancements and deepening international exchanges, drama education will play an even more significant role in aesthetic education.
