WHAT MAKES NDA DIFFERENT?
Not your regular just for fun theatre school... we have a training system.
Nelvin Drama Academy is a diverse kids drama school that uses drama and performance to train young kids their social competencies as well as performance skills in speaking, movement as well as acting.
We provide drama education specifically to new immigrants and kids who live and identify themselves in the marginalized community by giving them a chance to perform. Living in a foreign country and speaking a different language is often unnatural and could hugely affect a kid's self-esteem. Therefore, we use drama to help them develop positive self-esteem and to become a more confident person.
We believe that drama is a necessary stepping stone to a child's growing success while they come to term with themselves in their early development. Through understanding different lives that different characters live as well as re-enacting imaginary conversations , children (as actors) develop an open-mind where they start to see the world in different perspectives.
Besides social skills, drama is also a great tool to improve a kid's emotional quality (EQ) development. As kids collaborate in role-playing and drama activities with other kids, they learn how to control their emotions and behaviors and also to pick up social cues . Many of our students become a more confident and accepting person after encountering drama training.
Knowing how to perform on stage will help them to perform well in life.
WHY IS DRAMA IMPORTANT?
"...theatre is the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” ― Oscar Wilde
Every child must take drama, it is a stepping stone to a child's success. Drama is in itself a necessity to a child's personal growth. As drama is filled with imaginations and creativities, children are constantly exposed to new social environments to which they have to find their own ways to adapt. It is through these challenges, kids who learn drama will develop skills in communication, creative thinking, public speaking, socializing and leadership.
Knowing how to perform on stage will help them how to perform well in life.
