How Live Theatre And The Arts Can Improve Your Health

By: Joe Carney, Broadway Utica Summer Intern 2020

Research has shown that enjoying live theatre is extremely beneficial for your health.

Live theatre and the arts can be a place of escape for many people, not only physically but mentally. The arts can provide a positive experience in one’s life, and ultimately create memories, lasting traditions and expand our imaginations.

There is no right or wrong, no judgement, we are free to express ourselves and interpret art and theatre the way we see it.

The connection the actors, musicians, dancers, and artists make with their audience is so powerful, and a form of self-expression. As humans this bring us joy naturally, we enjoy being entertained and looking at art through the eyes of others.

Most messages are uplifting and motivating, as there are others that may be dark but meaningful, nonetheless situations we can all relate to in some form or another.

Furthermore, that message can encourage people to look within themselves and become confident and feel secure. The arts and live theatre truly bring us together and reminds us we are all unique and the same in so many ways.

The theatre is a positive space where everyone can relax, have fun, and YEAH!, it can improve your health!
