I’d love to share the sentiments about DramaWay from my book I wrote titled, “A Life Worth Living”:

“Many times we wrote our own productions based on things we were going through in our lives, such as understanding emotion, or stress or relationships. Sometimes, the productions were our version of a popular show, like Grease, revised to fit us. There are multiple roles throughout life such as the politician, or the scientist, and we as artists worked to figure out how to become this person. We studied the characters and learned how to portray them. We wanted to learn how to show how they think, and we became this person... I loved every performance that we did. There were times we played with mythical creatures, such as fairies and nymphs. This gave us the freedom to illustrate a story through acting. We were free to interpret the character our way. One specific character that I portrayed was a challenge for me.

My roles in plays always used a lot of words, but I wanted to learn more about physical theatre. I was given the role of a fairy and had no words to say. I did not have lines and I had acting skills to rely on to illustrate the empowerful message. I was depending on the saying that a picture, or in my case acting is worth a thousand words. The role was my favourite because the lesson that I learned was about silence, holding the audience's attention and drawing mixed emotion from them. This is when I learned to make a connection with the audience and to draw them into my world.

DramaWay taught me about the many ways people are able to communicate, and to think out of the box, teaching me to be more creative with my own characters. When drama class was over, I would leave feeling light and lively. I felt vibrant with confidence and thankful for the exposure that I had working with my fellow actors and getting to know about their lives. This has enabled me to present, not only myself, but my drama family as an advocate to improve our circumstances. I know that I can get by, that I am able to stand up and speak for myself. DramaWay had raised the bar high, very high, because now I see the value of all people. I learned to recognize that society has a different perspective when it comes to valuing a person.”
