INTRODUNTION The literature on drama supports the term "creative drama" as the preferable phrase for dramatic experiences that are intended to develop participants rather than to prepare them for performance in front of an audience. Creative drama is an improvisational, non-exhibitional, process-centered kind of theatre in which participants are led by a leader to imagine, reflect on, and perform human experience. Creative drama is always improvised; it is improvised because it is not scripted and is generated on the spot. Students can act out a tale they've read using their own words, or they can construct their own dialogue, whether the content is from a well-known novel or an original storyline.
