Breaking News: Fifth Inter-CCH Student Theater Festival Highlights Transformative Power of Theater
Strengthening Emotional and Academic Growth Through Theater
As we know, theatrical experiences play an instrumental role in bolstering various aspects of emotional, creative, academic, and social development among students. According to Dr. Benjamín Barajas Sánchez, General Director of the College of Sciences and Humanities, engaging in theater enhances self-esteem, personal security, empathy, collaborative work, and a sense of belonging.
Fostering Critical Thinking and Cultural Sensitivity
Theater encourages reflection on ethical and aesthetic values, promoting critical thinking and making human rights issues more visible. It aids in recognizing cultural diversity and enriching both verbal and nonverbal communication skills. For the academic field, this discipline supports the study of Reading, Drafting and Initiation to Documentary Research (TLRIID), and the Literary Text Analysis Workshop.
