A to Zee Creativity - About us and this weekend...

Hello,

For those interested to try out A to Zee Creativity we have some slots available in Pure Drama and Creative Teens. Read on for a brief synopsis of what we are about, and the schedule this weekend. (The website is still work in progress....)


Our Goal:
Our goal is to bring out the creativity in students young and old - via learning and creating art, unique woodwork pieces, poems, plays, songs, dances, dishes, etc. Creativity is what leads to innovation, and we want our students to have the tools and the scope to create.

Shows:
We do an end of year public show and some ad hoc shows/end of term shows. The students themselves write most of the scripts. 

All proceeds go to different charities each term - you will see how much we raised as the cheque is handed over to the said charity at the show itself. Over the years we have raised for ten charities.

We also do Carol singing and short performances at orphanages (with our very own Santa Claus handing out gifts contributed by the A to Zee students!). The simple idea is to get our children accustomed to contributing to those less well off. The students do it happily and feel quite proud after each show.

Trinity College London exams:
We do put our students forward for the Trinity College London exams - in Speech and Drama and Communication Skills. These exams taken at the higher grades help with entry to Universities abroad and in the India. There are some who prefer not to take the exam - this is fine too - there is no pressure to do it, but it would be a good experience.

Please note: Exams at Grade 6, 7, and 8 levels earn students UCAS points which are credits that are internationally recognized and given weight during admissions. To do Grade 6, students are approximately 14 years +.

Our year is divided into 3 terms of 3 months each. Term fees are listed below. The current term is 20th September to 20th December 2013. We are still taking new students for Pure Drama and Teens. The rest are full. Sessions:
