WHAT IS DRAMA? Drama has the potential, as a diverse medium, to enhance cognitive, affective and motor development. Drama is a unique tool to explore and express human feeling. Drama encourages the students to question previous assumptions and judgements.

Imitation is a natural and spontaneous 'stage' of early child development whereby a child is beginning to investigate the world by imitating it. Piaget notes that "To express things with gestures, the child must have a mental image of what it is he or she is acting out. Acting out in turn strengthens the mental image", inferring that this reciprocal process is a natural way of learning.
