Drama Society
2024 MGS Festival of Arts (Kizuna II)
The Drama Society is a vibrant community for students passionate about the performing arts, encompassing acting, directing, scriptwriting, and stagecraft. This society provides a platform for students to express themselves creatively, hone their dramatic skills, and gain practical experience in theatre production. Here, members do more than perform—they work collaboratively, exploring every element that brings a performance to life.
Aligned with deep learning goals, the Drama Society fosters students' confidence, creativity, and emotional intelligence while enhancing critical thinking and communication skills. Through drama, students build resilience, learn to collaborate effectively, and develop empathy by stepping into diverse perspectives. Additionally, they cultivate discipline and self-management through the commitment required for performances, refining their ability to communicate ideas persuasively. This holistic approach nurtures well-rounded individuals, equipping them with skills essential for both academic success and personal growth.
