The power of creativity, self-assurance, and teamwork takes centre stage as students from BINUS SCHOOL Simprug showcase their theatrical prowess in the enthralling production titled “ENTRANCED.” Theatre, beyond mere entertainment, serves as a crucible for learning and personal growth, providing a platform for students to explore their talents and collaborate effectively.
On Friday, the 3rd of May, 2024, BINUS SCHOOL Simprug, renowned for its adherence to the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, hosted its annual School Play extravaganza at Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) in Jakarta. This event not only marks a celebration of artistic expression but also underscores the school’s commitment to holistic education.
The School Play, a cherished tradition, engages high school students in a comprehensive process spanning from conception to execution. From crafting narratives to designing costumes and managing lighting, every aspect of the production is meticulously orchestrated by the students under the guidance of dedicated teachers. Furthermore, the inclusive nature of the event extends to elementary school students, fostering self-assurance from a tender age.
“ENTRANCED” narrates the tale of four steadfast friends—Tania, Dalia, Samir, and Malik—in Sawang City, Indonesia, whose bond is tested by the malevolent curse of a witch named Calon Arang. Through the trials they face, the audience is invited to witness their journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and identity affirmation, essential for breaking the witch’s spell.
Sharon Angriawan, Co-Director of “ENTRANCED,” reflects on the year-long preparation leading to the performance, emphasising the invaluable lessons gleaned by the students. “Our dedication has borne fruit, and we are immensely grateful for the collective effort that has brought this spectacle to life,” she shares.
Echoing her sentiments, Mr. Patrick Lorenzo Carbonell, Supervisor of “ENTRANCED,” underscores the significance of teamwork in achieving excellence. For BINUS SCHOOL Simprug, such initiatives embody the ethos of Personalised Excellence, tailored to nurture individual talents and interests.
Far beyond a theatrical showcase, “ENTRANCED” serves as a testament to the resilience, passion, and ingenuity of the students. Each scene brims with creativity and commitment, captivating audiences and leaving a lasting impression.
The School Play initiative exemplifies BINUS SCHOOL Education’s dedication to fostering community engagement and innovative learning. By instilling values of compassionate leadership and exemplary character, the school empowers students to explore new horizons and make meaningful contributions to society.
In essence, “ENTRANCED” is not merely a performance; it is a testament to the transformative power of education and the boundless potential of collaborative endeavour. Through initiatives like these, BINUS SCHOOL Simprug continues to inspire and uplift the next generation of leaders and innovators.
