It&#8217;s the process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s how Carolyn Anderson, director of Why Arts, an organization that provides Omaha&#8217;s underserved populations with access to inclusive quality arts programming, views artistic creation &#8212; it&#8217;s a journey. On Aug. 7, the latest performance of the Camp Munroe Theater Co. &#8212; a collaboration between the Munroe-Meyer Institute Department of Recreational Therapy and Why Arts &#8212; will be held. Called &#8220;Theater 101,&#8221; the show will be a play about a play &#8212; artwork about making art.<\/p>\n<p>Participation in theater, painting and other creative arts is an important facet of the MMI Department of Recreation Therapy, and not merely to provide fun, although it does that.<\/p>\n<p><P>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07421656.2008.10129347\">2011 study in Hong Kong<\/a> found that after completion of 12 art facilitation sessions, adult participants with developmental disabilities &#8220;showed enhanced social relationship and language comprehension based on parent and staff ratings, as compared to control participants.&#8221;<\/P><br \/>\n<P>In addition, the <a href=\"https:\/\/arttherapy.org\/\">American Art Therapy Association<\/a> points to art as a way to &#8220;improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change.&#8221;<\/P><br \/>\n<P>And The Kennedy Center&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/education.kennedy-center.org\/education\/vsa\/\">VSA: The International Organization on Arts and Disability<\/a>, was founded more than 35 years ago to &#8220;provide arts and education opportunities for people with disabilities and increase access to the arts for all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"400\" cellspacing=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CampArt0718.jpg\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"picture disc.\"><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:0.85em; line-height:150%;\">A child works on an art project at Camp Munroe while recreational therapy staff member Anna Reelfs looks on.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<\/TABLE><\/p>\n<p>MMI Director Karoly Mirnic, M.D., Ph.D., spoke about the increased access the theater program provides.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The theater program allows participation by individuals who in the regular school system probably would not get into the performances at all,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It builds social skills and develops the brain, and gives confidence to individuals as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But he also stressed the benefits of all types of creative art.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Art is an important piece of brain development,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There have been quite a few studies that show that it expands the brain, that it builds new connections. Art is what we are as human beings from our earliest days; it&#8217;s part of our existence. We appreciate beauty, but we also enjoy participating in beauty, creating beauty. It&#8217;s part of our social existence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line, Anderson said, is that by creating art, &#8220;a person has a sense of accomplishment; they&#8217;re rewarded, they&#8217;re praised, they&#8217;re celebrated. They&#8217;re not compared to someone sitting next to them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone can engage in the arts &#8212; everyone has the ability and should have the opportunity to be creative,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>For Erin Bentzinger, now in her second year as director of the Camp Munroe Theater Co. &#8212; hosted once again this summer by the Scottish Rite &#8212;  the performance art camp gives participants more options for creativity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love that they are able to use their imagination and really share that,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Bentzinger and Nicole Giron, associate director of recreational therapy, also point to a rise in self-esteem as an important return for people with developmental disabilities who become involved in creative or performing art.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There have been quite a few parents who have shared that their child or adult child may be more reserved and hesitant about doing this program,&#8221; Bentzinger said. &#8220;But after being involved in it, they have this new self-confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s an opportunity for free-form expression,&#8221; Giron said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no wrong. There&#8217;s nothing that anybody needs to be corrected upon. Art is an incredible opportunity for full, whole-person expression, and it really comes from that person&#8217;s perspective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Artwork lets people work together with friends while expressing their own creativity, Bentzinger said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once they have been up on stage, or shown their artwork in front of people, and had such positive feedback, they feel more confident in wanting to do that again,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Also, when working collaboratively, as at theater camp, it&#8217;s a new level of friendship-making. It&#8217;s not just playing a game &#8212; you&#8217;re creating something together with teamwork.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the arts are for everyone, Anderson said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The arts are so broad &#8212; there is no individual I would look at and think, &#8216;You can&#8217;t do the arts.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mirnics pointed out that art is considered important by UNMC and Nebraska Medicine, with the Healing Arts Program, Chihuly Sanctuary and other artwork displayed in the Fred &#038; Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and throughout campus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we think of therapy, it doesn&#8217;t have only to be a medication or intervention,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s spirituality and art, as well &#8211; altogether, it&#8217;s overall well-being. And an important piece of that is to find beauty and participate in the creation of beauty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"Z f GjIaD K  lS WBOXk\"><!-- Z f GjIaD K  lS WBOXk --><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Programs such as Camp Munroe Theater Co. provide more than fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":65522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","department-munroe-meyer-institute","department-unmc-front-page","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Munroe-Meyer programs harness arts&#039;
