Creativity Classes
Left brain builds. Right brain dreams. Together they create magic.


Our live productions for English-, Russian-, and French-speaking audiences are professional, fully staged performances created with kids and for kids and adults of all ages, in collaboration with world‑class costume and stage designers, songwriters, and other industry professionals. Each show is inspired by meaningful stories of our time and grows out of ongoing classes, serving as a powerful “graduation” experience for the young performers. We fill theaters with interactive, musical productions where the audience becomes part of the story, complete with surprising twists, turns, and moments of true magic. The experience is transformative not only for the actors, who bring their training to life under the lights, but also for the audience, who leave laughing, inspired, and touched by stories filled with humor and timeless values.
Our drama classes for English-, Russian-, and French-speaking kids are rooted in the principles of humanistic education, placing each child’s personality, creativity, and inner world at the center of the learning process. Built on mindfulness and the Stanislavsky method, our classes encourage students to be present, aware, and connected to themselves, their partners, and the story they are creating together. Through playful lessons and thoughtful ensemble work, children learn to think, strive, and create together, developing confidence, empathy, and imagination. Every voice matters: the final production is carefully designed so that each child enjoys equal stage time and a genuine moment to shine from beginning to end, making the “graduation” performance a celebration of their growth rather than a competition.
Our customized puppet shows are built on the transforming power of interactive storytelling and draw inspiration from leading child‑psychology approaches of narrative and play therapy. Each performance is designed not only to entertain, but to gently support children’s emotional growth, confidence, and resilience through mindful, uplifting narratives. While we have many lovable characters who can visit your event or birthday party—like Solomon the Rat, Ralf the Turtle, and others—the heart of our repertoire is “Tales of Sunny Meadow – Сказки солнечной поляны,” a series of mindful stories about the Wings and Little Feet of the Sunny Meadow. Children instantly connect with adorable characters such as Dash the Dragonflyer, Bella the Butterfly, Lilly the Ladybug, Cara the Caterpillar, and Busy the Builder the Ant, and stories like “Happy Meadow Party” give them playful “keys” to personal growth and success. Every show is fully interactive: kids help the characters, pet them, play with them, dance and sing with them, and truly feel part of the adventure. We carefully customize each story to your child’s needs and your celebration, creating a unique, meaningful experience for every event.
Our creativity classes blend performing arts training with hands-on making, so kids not only imagine stories but also build them from the ground up. In each session, children create their own characters and plots, craft puppets and props, and then bring everything to life through multiple style performance. They learn how to “make magic with their bare hands” by turning simple materials into worlds, creatures, and special effects that become part of their shows. This playful, project-based approach nurtures confidence, collaboration, and a deep love for both making and performing.

Shadow theater


Shadows Unleashed: Where Kids' Hands, Bodies, and Puppets Ignite Endless Imagination!
In the enchanting world of shadow theater classes, children master multiple techniques—crafting puppets from their own drawings and cuts, shaping characters with just their hands, or using their full bodies to bring silhouettes to life—transforming simple light into mesmerizing stories on illuminated screens. Accompanied by musical tracks we select together or live orchestras we assemble in harmonious collaboration, these performances unleash a profound magic that outshines the glow of TVs and phones, igniting boundless creativity they carry home like a glowing ember. With its simple setup, shadow theater empowers kids to experiment freely across these versatile styles, drawing them from the gadget-filled void into a vibrant realm where their innate genius flourishes, and every shadow sparks a lifetime of inventive joy.

In our teen drama classes for ages 13 and up, hearts find a safe space to pour out what stirs passions, troubles spirits, blocks paths, or ignites dreams. Here creativity flourishes, revealing unique worldviews, raw thoughts, pains, and joys, as participants craft a vibrant, multi-style play that mirrors their reality, channeling the profound need to share and be heard into a tapestry of drama, pantomime, shadow play, comedy, dance, and expressive body movement. This empowering journey not only builds confidence and artistic skills but also bridges worlds, fostering deeper connections through authentic self-expression. It is a unique opportunity for teens to be understood.
