DARE Drama Australia

Take a lesson from Tay-Tay and shake it off. It just may help you de-stress.

Shaking the body can help ease an overstimulated nervous system and calm the body back down. Shaking therapy can help manage emotional states, both short- and long-term. Regulating stress can also prevent it from building up and developing into symptoms of anxiety, trauma, or depression. There's no particular way to do it, just breathe, and shake you body for a few seconds. Shake your whole body or just bits at a time. Then feel the tingles and calm when you stop!

When your mental health is flourishing, you're more likely to:

-feel happy and positive about yourself
-be kind to yourself during tough times or when things don’t go the way you expect
-enjoy life
-bring a positive mindset to learning
-build positive relationships with family and friends
-manage sad, confusing, or angry feelings
-bounce back from tough times
-be willing to try new or challenging things.

Set aside a little time everyday this school holidays to do something that makes YOU happy. Go for a walk with a friend. Have a bubble bath with an audio book (and some bubbles 😉!!). Sleep in. Stick googly eyes all over your kitchen appliances. Cover something in glitter. Whatever it is that makes YOU happy, carve out some time to do it.

HAPPY WINTER BREAK, EVERYONE!
🥰

Congratulations to all my Triangles for their amazing mid year presentations, and for building their skills in confidence.

Stepping onto the stage. Taking a risk. Thinking on your feet. Laughing at yourself.
These are just a few ways drama gets your heart racing and those endorphins pumping.
Come be a Triangle with us!

In the words of Tina Turner... SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!

Come be a Triangle with us.

Just saying.

Dare Drama kids are kind, curious, and crazy creative.

Being successful on stage, whether improvising or devising scenes, means making your co-creators look good by listening, saying "YES, AND..", being present and having fun.

It's not a coincidence that that's how to be successful in life.

Dare Drama doesn't just teach drama.
We teach life skills.
For real life.
Every day.

The Spider Mind
Practicing Mindfulness can help you have more of a Spider Mind.

This 'Animal Mind' embodies the quality of engaged attention but is not caught up in it. Monkey business or dog chasing (see previous posts) isn’t what the Spider Mind does. It’s high quality thinking that allows you to be interested and energetic as well as objective and relaxed, making great connections and being creative. (inspired by Arnie Kozak ‘Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants’).

Mindfulness practice is not easy, especially in a group of energetic drama kids, but this CONSEQUENCE of mindfulness, not trying to reach it as a goal, helps our kids chill out and cheer up.

Would you, or someone you know, like to learn how to improvise just for fun (or to get out of sticky situations)?! Teehee.

Registrations open for Term 2, Adult Acting. We start back Tuesday May 2nd. Tag someone who enjoys laughing a lot.

Dare Drama - Toddler Triangles By Sussex Neighbourhood House Inc. A morning of drama based on story books for toddlers.

Don't compare our kids on stage.

They come to us for so many different reasons to develop their unique skills and to overcome their personal anchors.
If you want to measure your child's development, compare them to the last time you saw them on stage or speaking in front of a group.

And see how much bigger their smile is this time round!

The Littlest Triangle taking up the biggest piece of my heart.

Mindfulness - Which 'Animal Mind' do you have?

The Lion Mind is when you can be peaceful, disengaged and maybe even somewhat unimpressed by your own thoughts — especially when Fido & Chimp are running around (see previous posts). Like the big, royal proud cat, when you’re in Lion Mind State, you often get very good insights. Important to know is that Lion Mind can be a result of mindfulness, but it's not a goal. (inspired by Arnie Kozak ‘Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants’).

At Dare Drama we have conversations like these, so our kids can visualise, relate to, and take home little mindfulness techniques to encourage them to slow down and be present.

Do you want your kid to be able to analyse, rationalise, put forward comprehensive arguments, and disagree politely?!

Well, send them to Dare Drama and we will teach them how, through our own version of debating - it's like a normal debate, but with a little more drama!

YAY! By far the most creative and CHAOTIC end of year performance ever!
