About
This fun-filled workshop for children ages 5 to 7 is the perfect introduction to drama for little ones. Drama in the Jungle! is a sampler of The Actors Studio Academy @ klpac’s popular Speech and Drama programme that runs throughout the year.
Get creative and let your kids’ imagination run wild in this 45-minute workshop where they explore a walk in the jungle with creative pantomime activities, storytelling, movements, and songs. Apart from a whole lot of fun and giggles, they will be stepping out of their comfort zone and learning some new skills in a group setting.
Recommended Age: 5 - 7 years old
About the Artiste
The Actors Studio Academy @ klpac
Founded by Dato’ Dr. Faridah Merican and Joe Hasham OAM, The Actors Studio Academy is a pioneer in arts education in Malaysia. The very first class in 1992 comprised luminaries such as Tiara Jacquelina Eu, Patrick Teoh, Leslie Dawson, Ramli Hassan, Jeffery Nicholson and Fawziah Nawi, to name a few. It has since nurtured thousands of artistes, many who are regarded as the crème de
la crème of the industry today.
At The Actors Studio Academy, they believe that the study of the arts is not only for those who are interested to pursue a career as an artiste. The same skills can be applied in our daily lives.
Today, its team of educators headed by Kimmy Kiew run the only performing arts academy attached to an arts centre – The Actors Studio Academy @ klpac. With a clear pathway for children through to adults, learn from artiste-educators with hands-on experience in the industry and enjoy direct access to klpac’s full range of facilities.
Apart from its famed all year round Speech and Drama programme, the Academy also offers other courses such as contemporary and traditional dance, K-Pop dance, Malay Gamelan, Nanyang Shaolin martial arts and more. Customised courses for school groups as well as arts-based corporate training and team building are also available.

About Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival
After two months of Kampung Tour to five states around Peninsular Malaysia, Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival 2025 will finally be kicking off its much-anticipated Urban Tour from June to August 2025.
This time, festival goers will have three chances to catch YSDAF at three different locations around Klang Valley which means triple the fun and triple the excitement!
YSDAF 2025 Urban Tour begins at KL East Mall on 14 June, followed by PARC (Subang Jaya) on 5 July and, finally, Elmina Lakeside Mall on 9 August. Everyone is invited!
Like past festivals, YSDAF 2025 will feature bite-sized performances by Malaysian artistes across different genres, from the traditional to the contemporary, from music and dance to theatre and visual arts. Apart from its scale, what sets YSDAF apart is that it also offers a highly interactive experience so you will have the chance to get your hands dirty, pick up a new skill or craft your own masterpiece at one of its workshops.
The highlight of the Urban Tour are its anchor performances by its programme partners Young KL Singers, MyDance Alliance and Orang Orang Drum Theatre. Apart from these highlights, festival goers can look forward to a unique festival experience at each location as the programming ls largely different with a different lineup of artistes and acts.
