Surprisingly, these traits, in and of themselves, don&#8217;t guarantee a successful life.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u00a0Emotional Intelligence that, by far, a greater predictor of success.<\/p>\n<p>Emotional Intelligence encompasses four abilities:<\/p>\n<p>1.To Perceive Emotion<\/p>\n<p>2. Use Emotion<\/p>\n<p>3. Understand Emotion<\/p>\n<p>4. Manage one&#8217;s emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The studies tell us that Theatre Work exponentially enhances these abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it is a school play, after school workshop or summer camp program, young people who immerse themselves in theatre work gain both life and work skills that predict future success.<\/p>\n<p>Stagework, developing a character\u00a0and interacting with others in a supportive, personal manner creates understanding and compassion that is experienced profoundly by a young person in the collaborative process of a cherished and shared artistic goal: The Play!<\/p>\n<p>So, while sports, beauty, brains and brawn don&#8217;t hurt,\u00a0a young person is very greatly served by spending some time onstage. A great reason for a parent to consider Acting Camp?
