From shy story-listeners to confident performers, our Myna Minis programs use play, movement, and theatre to help kids find their spark. It is not about perfect acting; it is about joyful expression and building confidence in a space designed just for them.

Introducing Stage Stars, our joyful journey into music, dance, and theatre for children aged 5 to 8. It's the perfect first step into the world of performing arts.

What does a child learn while pretending to be a lion or a queen? Behind every giggle lies a growing mind, developing imagination, emotional skills, and confidence. This is the magic of our Drama Lab.

From Hindustani classical notes to playful theatre games, this is what learning looks like for our Myna Minis. We gently introduce them to sur, taal, and storytelling, helping them grow their skills through movement and joy.

Our Drama Lab with Priyanka Babbar is a playful introduction to theatre for 5-7 year olds. We use imagination, movement, and storytelling to help kids find their voice and build confidence.

This was the showcase from our Stage Stars workshop. No pressure, just pride, delight, and a whole lot of applause for our Myna Minis who tried, grew, and showed up with all their heart.

About this collection

Our sessions are not about memorizing lines or performing for an audience. We focus on the process—using theatre games and immersive storytelling to help children aged 5 to 8 develop empathy, focus, and the confidence to speak up. Whether your child is naturally outgoing or a bit reserved, they will find a comfortable place here to explore their imagination through movement and pretend play, guided by experienced instructors who prioritize fun over perfection.

Why Drama Lab works for children

At Myna, we believe that every child has a story to tell. Our 'Drama Lab' and 'Stage Stars' programs are designed to turn that potential into presence. We move away from the traditional school approach of rigid instruction and instead use 'play' as the primary teaching tool.

What your child gains

  • Confidence and Expression: Through role-play, kids learn to project their voice and occupy space without fear. It is the first step toward overcoming stage fright.
  • Social and Emotional Skills: Working in a group setting teaches children turn-taking, active listening, and how to empathize with the characters they portray.
  • Physical Coordination: Our movement-based theatre games help children develop better body awareness and motor skills, often without them even realizing they are learning.

Our approach in Khar West

Our studio in Khar West is built for this. With impact-absorbing flooring and sound-proofed spaces like the Darbari and Malhar studios, we create a safe environment for your child to run, jump, and act freely. We keep our batch sizes small—roughly 8 to 12 kids—to ensure that our gurus can provide the individual attention needed to help quieter children come out of their shell and allow the more energetic ones to channel their creativity effectively.

We don't just teach drama; we facilitate adventures. From stories like 'The Adventures of Kanchil' to musical storytelling sessions, we aim to make the arts a natural part of your child's week.
