"Can you tell what shape the decorations on this iron window are? It's an exquisite and elegant jasmine flower, which has become a popular spot for everyone to take photos and check in. The design inspiration for the interior space decoration of the theater comes from the water wave pattern, which interprets the water waves into a layer by layer arc shape and applies it to the ceiling and walls..." On the day before the start of school, the Jasmine Theater held a presentation performance for the "ACE Special Training Camp" children, and the campers transformed into guides to unlock the new map of the theater.

This year, "SDAC ACE" will be held again, radiating from the Shanghai Drama Art Center at 288 Anfu Road to the Jasmine Flower Theater located at People's Square and 247 Beihai Road. Under the leadership of the special training camp mentor Wang Xiaonan, the training camp condensed the previously scattered courses of one to two months into one week to complete, continuing the tradition of the SDAC ACE training camp, integrating theater guidance, drama training, and specialized training. In addition to teaching knowledge about stage performance, we also incorporate aesthetic education into drama education by incorporating content such as the Centennial Drama Exhibition and the Jasmine Theater Guide, allowing drama to enter the lives of young people.
