Original Play Workshop
Posted by Savannah Mayfield on Wed, July 8th 2009 in Family Fun
If you have attended a Play After Play performance and loved the philosophy of play or are interested in learning more about Original Play, you don’t want to miss this opportunity!
My toddler and I attended a fun, interactive theater experience called Play After Play recently. I was intrigued by the philosophy behind the kind of Play they used to interact with the kids. It created an open, creative and non-competitive environment that welcomed the kids to freely express themselves and participate however felt most natural to them. I am excited that this opportunity is coming up in our community and encourage anyone who works with kids or parents kids to check it out!
