A definite ‘yes’! Children should have the chance to do and showcase what interests them and what they love. The stage offers much more than just the audience seated in front. It makes students creative, collaborative, and confident; more importantly, it induces commitment! Whether dancing their hearts away on centre stage, singing their favourite song, acting like their favourite artist, or playing any instrument.
At NWS we understand that each child holds centre stage in their parents’ lives. Every child deserves to be in the SPOTLIGHT!
At NWS, we ensure that every child gets an equal stage presence with our all encompassing annual production design. In simple words, annual productions are not overcrowded with all the classes participating in one. Instead, fewer grades perform together as one. We expose students to perform on stage and leverage the opportunities to hone their skills in the following ways:
The lead role in a play is divided among 4-5 students to generate more possibilities.
The musical performances, including dance, singing, and playing instruments, are designed to rotate amongst the performers so everyone gets equal stage time.
Narrators are created as a role possibility for 4-5 students in all the school plays.
Multiple shows are held for parents of the respective classes to give each student an equal chance. For instance, Grade 3 students hold the fort when their parents are seated in the auditorium and vice versa.
In case a student willingly wants to handle backstage, that is facilitated too, where students learn the behind-the-scenes management and pre and post-production tasks to organise the event.
We help students identify their favourite among acting, singing, dancing, playing instruments or backstage! Because at NWS, annual productions are perceived not just as a source of entertainment and annual fun but as a vehicle for developing collaboration, commitment, confidence, creativity, teamwork, accountability, self-discipline and respect. We ensure that all students lose their stage fright right from the beginning in the most uplifting ways.
So, for us at NWS, every child is stage-worthy, and they deserve to be in the spotlight doing whatever they do the best!
