The Annual day celebration of DPS Sharjah is a total theatre
presentation with a different focus, every year. The DPS Sharjah family
of Students, Teachers, Admin Staff and Ancillary Staff come together in
a massive presentation of the theme through the language of theatre,
dance and music.
On 27th
January 2015, the audience witnessed a great story unfold before their
eyes entitled "Flight of Change" inspired by "The Story of the Eagle".
This Mega Production conceptualised and scripted by our Principal, Mrs
Vandana Marwaha, illustrated a magnificent story of transformation and
determination to live which even captivate and inspire human beings.
The story depicted through specially choreographed dance moves stole the
hearts of the audience for the perfect coordination, agile foot work by
the dancers and ballerinas which added to the zeal with an amazing
enthusiasm, drawing lots of applause.
The intricately
choreographed aerial dance
act, which was the highlight of the event, added a whole new dimension
to the show.
Though far from reality, this tale of an eagle depicts how the mere
determination to survive transforms and rejuvenates the eagle by
shedding its old and dysfunctional parts giving way to new ones to
continue in its journey of life.
The Chief Guest was Sharmila Tagore,
great
grandniece of Rabindranath
Tagore, UN Goodwill Ambassador, Bollywood legend and recipient of
numerous awards including Padma Bhushan. The honourable veteran Indian
film actress was all praise for the versatility of the Dipsites who
exhibited a perfect cultural extravaganza. Reminding the students about
importance of anchoring to our roots (values) she encouraged them to
spread the wings of their dreams and aim high.
The magnificent function took off with a warm welcome to our
distinguished Chief Guest, our esteemed
guests, Mr Dinesh Kothari, Pro Vice Chairman DPS Sharjah, DPS
Dubai, DPS Jodhpur and DPS Academy; Mrs Kothari;
