A to Zee Creativity: The schedule this weekend...

Hello,

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

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, etc. Creativity is what leads to innovation, and we want our students to have the tools and the scope to create.


Shows:There is nothing like performing before an audience to build one's confidence! We do an end of year public show and some smaller ad hoc shows/end of term shows. The students themselves write most of the scripts. 


All proceeds of shows go to different charities - the students and the audience hear how much is raised and 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 idea is to try 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 - we have 16 individual entries this October for Speech and Drama and Communication Skills. These exams taken at the higher grades (Grades 6, 7, 8) help with entry to Universities abroad and in the India. 



Sessions: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 +.
