EXPRESSIONEE 2019- ‘ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE’
Drama is something that challenges students’ perceptions about their world and about themselves. Dramatic expression provides students an outlet for emotions, thoughts
and dreams that they might not otherwise express. Drama promotes teamwork, negotiation and socialization. It develops a better understanding of human behaviour and
empathy with situations that might seem distant.
th
Doon International School, Riverside organised the Annual Inter House Dramatics Competition on September 7 2019. The tiny tots of the Junior Wing presented the
famous play titled ‘The Lion King’. The costumes, the props and the performance by the little ones, stole the show and every body’s heart.
Next in line was the play presented by Churchill House- ‘Cleopatra – The Awakening of a Woman’. Mandela House presented a play titled ‘Webbed’ based on the internet
and its misuse by the young generation. Gandhi House enacted a play on ‘Ashoka’. It was based on the King’s journey from a monarch to a monk. Lincoln House enacted a
drama on the eternal friendship and bond between Sudama and Lord Krishna. It was a beautiful presentation.
‘EXPRESSIONEE’ was presided over by the Directors Mrs. Sonika Mann and Mr. H. S Mann, Principal Mr. Dilip George and Vice Principal, Mrs. Anju Varma. In his address, Mr.
H.S Mann encouraged the children to participate actively in dramatics and debates as these play an important role in the overall development of a child.
Gandhi House was declared the winner. Churchill House bagged the second position and Mandela House was adjudged the third best. The day ended with lots of cheers
and applause.
