Benched: On the sidelines, suffering an injury, breaking the rules, watching others play, sitting out

 

At risk and special needs students face being “benched” in the classroom every day. These are students who struggle to maintain their educational focus and self-esteem while facing daily challenges, be they social, mental, financial or personal.  In fact, all students occasionally sit on the sidelines of their education.

 

Designed to reflect your school’s unique needs and challenges, the Benched Players use theater and improvisational techniques to challenge your student’s thinking, unleash their creativity, and build self-confidence and respect for others as they develop critical thinking skills that will aid them in their educational careers.

• Situational Analysis

• Emotional Control & Awareness

• Body Awareness

• Relaxation techniques

• And more…
