ABOUT OUR TERM TIME DRAMA PROGRAMME

Faust’s weekly after school and Saturday Drama workshops aim to provide a fun-filled extracurricular learning environment for children aged 3 through to 18 to develop greater self-confidence, teamwork and performance skills for the stage and beyond. Our drama workshops provide insight into the world of theatre and performing arts, and enables members to explore drama in its wider social and cultural context in an English speaking, group environment. Read about our Values and Aims here.

In each workshop, different theatrical themes are explored. Examples include improvisation, mime, movement, script-work, set design, stage-fighting and more for the older children. For the younger children, we introduce members to drama through stories, exploring their creativity and developing the actor’s toolset (voice, body and imagination). Our workshop activities encourage creative expression using popular and classic stories to inspire everyone involved.

At Faust, we believe the process is just as important as the performance, which means your child has the opportunity to flourish within every moment of our workshops. Every year, we also offer performance opportunities for our members on a wide range of youth theatre productions in Hong Kong, subject to government guidelines. View our photo gallery from past productions and theatre festivals here.

With qualified and experienced leaders, unrivalled resources and over 23 years of experience, we offer the best of drama and theatrical education for the young people of Hong Kong. We are proud to have received various awards, such as “Best Kids’ Enrichment Programme’ and ‘Best Kids’ Holiday Camp’ (Expat Living’s 2021 Readers’ Choice), and ‘Best Art/Creative Class Provider’ (Sassy Mama 2019).
