ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Applied Drama

Okay kiddo, let me try to explain what applied drama is in a way that even a five-year-old can understand!

Do you know what drama is? Drama is when people act out a story on stage or in front of a camera. It can be funny, sad, or even scary.

Now, applied drama is when people use these same acting skills to help solve problems or teach lessons. They might act out a scene where a character bullies someone else and then talk about how it feels and how to stop it from happening. Or, they might act out a situation where someone needs to ask for help, and then talk about how to do it in real life.

It's kind of like playing pretend, but with a purpose! Applied drama can help people learn about different situations and how to handle them better. It can also be a fun way to learn and explore new things.

So, that's what applied drama is all about – using acting skills to help people learn and grow. Pretty cool, right?
