The youngest guide unlocks the new map of the Jasmine Theater, the day before school starts
"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.

In early November 2021, the Shanghai Drama Art Center held the "SDAC ACE" event, inviting commentators for the centennial drama exhibition for middle school students throughout the city. "ACE" is selected from the three letters in "Announcer", meaning "Speech Responsibility" at the Shanghai Theatre Art Center. Since 2021, this event has been held for 3 sessions and has trained over 70 versatile ACEs.

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.

When performing her talent, her friend who played the suona left a deep impression on her. Third grade student Liu Yixin said that training has a great sense of achievement.

The Jasmine Theater opened in February, focusing on the concept of "24/7 on Beihai Road, uninterrupted excitement", and launching four major sections: "Classic Works", "Fire of Collision", "Charm of Craftsmanship", and "Beauty of Harmony". "The charm of craftsmanship" is an exploration of art education work, continuing the aesthetic education concept of Shanghai Drama Art Center, and insisting on cultivating more young people to enter the theater.
