EM Drama’s Philosophy
Empathy – We seek to understand you.
We believe that fostering empathy for the people around us should begin at a young age. To understand each other better. To be better human beings.
Embody – We encourage role play.
We believe that by embodying characters in poems or plays, you foster empathy and that deepens your understanding of another person(s) when you put yourself in their shoes.
