BERZERK PRODUCTIONS PHILOSOPHY OF DRAMA

Drama concerns the development of personality. Young people should acquire social and life skills through drama. We endeavour to bring out positive aspects of personality: self confidence, a tendency to listen actively, a sense of humour, the ability to relate more easily with others – possibly because one is more at ease with oneself. Drama is about instilling the desire to communicate. It is about losing inhibitions. It is about feeling the confidence to express your own point of view. In our changing world it offers a sense of belonging and community.

Berzerk Productions is currently adapting the “Can’t Say, You Can’t Play” Vivian Gussin Paley approach, with strict ideals to strive for:

• Praise people
• Avoid put downs
• Notice and correct hurts that have been inflicted
• Right wrongs
• Seek wise people as friends and advisor
• Acceptance of Difference
