THEATRE
At Deepanam School, we believe that every student has the potential to shine on stage and make a difference in the world
At Deepanam School, we believe that every student should have the chance to participate in the arts. That’s why we make it our policy to include every child in our theatre performances, from singing to dancing to acting. Our students have the opportunity to experience the joy of being on stage and the thrill of a successful production, all while building their confidence and exploring their talents.
In addition to acting, we involve our older students in scenic and costume design, lighting and sound, and budget management. This collaborative process allows them to develop new skills, enhance their problem-solving abilities, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of theatre.
Our theatre program offers numerous benefits, including boosting confidence, developing oratory skills, building teamwork, and fostering problem-solving abilities. We also provide opportunities for our students to appreciate the works of great playwrights, such as Shakespeare, and to share their talents with the Auroville community.
At Deepanam School, we are committed to fulfilling The Mother’s dream of making art and culture accessible to all, regardless of age . Our theatre exercises help our students to develop skills in listening, trust, improvisation, imagination, and role-play, empowering them to become better collaborators and communicators.
Our theatre program has also had a positive impact on our students, with participation leading to improved confidence, creativity, resiliency, responsibility, collaboration, and a greater sense of community
