My first lesson at Centrestage went rather well. We were a bit late for class because Emak underestimated the travelling time and we got stuck in the morning rush hour. We almost got into an accident too! Lucky thing the other driver found no damages done to her car.
This week's colour is red, hence the red dress. Before lesson proper, we are allowed to explore the toys and games the teacher has laid out on the floor. The classroom is really huge. It even has a sink and a nappy changing station and outside the classroom, there's coffee and tea available for free for the parents.
The letter for the lesson was 'b' and Teacher Lydia took out a huge box with all sorts of things that begin with the letter 'b'.
While the other kids were still busy rummaging through the box for a 'b' thing, I stood at the side, quietly admiring the badge I found.

More about Centrestage: It is actually a school of the arts and they conduct quite a few drama courses. " The aim was to create the "drama club" style of class so readily available in the UK, Australia and the US. This could only be done with a team of experienced facilitators. The strength of the school is in its staff. All of the full time teachers trained primarily as actors and completed full time courses in UK drama schools, they have all worked and continue to work in the theatre and on television. In addition, they are fully qualified speech and drama teachers and have gained university degrees in Theatre. This combination of experience, practical application and theoretical expertise allows students a rich and vivid understanding of the numerous applications of drama." - extracted from Centrestage's website.

This class that I've enrolled in teaches little kids many things through the use of drama. Why did Emak choose this school for me? It is because "Drama is of value to everyone, not only to those who wish to become performers. It improves and develops confidence, awareness, expression, concentration, problem solving, motivation and promotes the use of unique thinking styles." - extracted from Centrestage's website.

Let the world say HELLO to the Drama Mama! MUAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA!
