Business Overview
Drama workshops run by staff in the interpersonal support category are held twice a month. The participants, regardless of age or disability, are mainly those who want to find a place to rest in their heart by enjoying the play with other participants, those who want to reinvent themselves by discovering who they had never noticed, those who want to gain self-confidence by interacting with others, and those who want to release their feelings through expression. The content is flexibly changed on the spot depending on the number of participants, but it is intended to be a comfortable and relaxing experience of the theater while gradually increasing the relationship with other participants. The aim is for the participants to enjoy making plays in cooperation with other participants through the theater experience.
