NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS AND AMATEUR ACTORS

In a recent study comparing every Nobel Prize–winning scientist from 1901 to 2005 with typical scientists of the same era, both groups attained deep expertise in their respective fields of study.

But the Nobel Prize winners were dramatically more likely to be involved in the arts than less accomplished scientists.

Following is the artistic hobby followed by the odds of Nobel Prize winners compared to typical scientists:

Music: playing an instrument, composing, conducting – 2x greater

Arts: drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpting – 7x greater

Crafts: woodworking, mechanics, electronics, glassblowing – 7.5x greater

Writing: poetry, plays, novels, short stories, essays, popular books – 12x greater

Performing: amateur actor, dancer, magician – 22x greater

-- From the book Originals by Adam Grant

Why teach your children theatre?

Theatre is a Science.
Theatre is Mathematical.
Theatre is a Foreign Language.
Theatre is History.
Theatre is Physical Education.
Theatre is Language Arts.
Theatre is Technology.
Theatre is Economics.

Theatre is taught not because you expect your child to major in theatre, or that they are expected to perform all through life. Not so that they can relax, have fun, but so they can recognize Beauty.
So they can be Sensitive.
So they can have more Love.
So they can have more Compassion.
So they can have more Gentleness.
So they can have more Good.
In short, so they can have more LIFE.
