WHY SHOULD YOU ENROLL IN A DRAMA STUDIO?

Because it’s useful and fun! To make new friends and develop self-confidence, to become freer. It develops creativity and imagination, resourcefulness, and responsibility. The secrets of theater are revealed!

Drama groups perform their plays at Tirenafest and children and youth festivals, and regularly participate in SKAZ and ASSITEJ festivals for professionally directed theater groups.

Members of our drama studio participated in European theater meetings in Finland, Israel, Russia, Hungary, Belgium, Turkey, Great Britain, Switzerland and Denmark, as well as in Erasmus+ projects Bina Mira, Future Telling…
