Wings to Fly: Bringing Theatre Arts to Students With Special Needs
Editorial Reviews
Mark Medoff, Tony Award Winner for Best Play, 1979, "Children of A Lesser God"
Sally Bailey's passionate, incisive, and insightful methods put her in the vanguard of what children's theatre for the twenty-first century must be: theatre that invites ALL children to go through the doors of their imaginations and unleash what's trapped inside.
Camilla Polhemus, RDT, "Dramascope"
Sally Dorothy Bailey offers theater techniques to help children gain self-esteem, improve social skills, and explore new modes of self-expression, drawn primarily from her work with special needs children at the Bethesda Academy of Performing Arts.
Wings To Fly will refuel the energy, creativity, and hope of all teachers and drama therapists who work with children. Bailey expresses her faith in human beings when she says, "You can do anything if you imagine it clearly enough and work on it hard enough" and she asserts that we, too, can summon courage to take leaps into the unknown, just as her students have done. Bailey's own words aptly describe her book, "It speaks to the human heart and soul in a direct, immediate and emotional way." Wings To Fly offers the joy and hope which allow us to soar, and the experience and techniques to ground us.
