Besides the stories, my favourite part of drama is the exercise Chairs and Tables. When we play Chairs and Tables, we imagine that any sadness, anger, or frustration we’re feeling are chairs that we’re holding above our heads. Then, we throw the chair away and replace our bad feelings with positive, hopeful ones. Throwing away my troubles like that makes me feel so much happier and lighter, and I’m ready to start creating and imagining with my friends.

With exercises like Chairs and Tables, I can feel myself growing as a person. Drama has made me so much more confident, and the workshops give me a chance to feel like a star in the spotlight. I’m proud that we are the first people with CP to act and perform the stories that we create ourselves. I especially like it when new people join, because helping them perform and create makes it feel as if we are all connected as one group. I am so grateful to Imagining Possibilities for opportunities and experiences it has given me, and the confidence it inspires.
