Take the stage and explore your inner star – here’s a look at upcoming workshops in Dubai to get you started.

The Drama Lab Workshop by The Junction Academy

Enroll your little one in this workshop to hone their stage skills and to get them to perform in front of a live audience. The workshop, taught by seasoned professionals, will teach them how to emote, to modulate their voice and mind their body language. It will also culminate in a spot at the famous Short + Sweet festival that’s coming to Dubai early next year.

Each workshop has only 8 spots, so make those reservations quickly.
