ABOUT OUR TERM TIME DRAMA PROGRAMMES

Faust’s weekly after school and Saturday Drama workshops aim to provide a fun-filled extra-curricular 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 enable 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 for older children include improvisation, mime, movement, script-work, set design, stage-fighting and more. For younger children, we introduce drama through stories, exploring the children’s creativity and developing the actor’s tool kit (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 each workshop. Every year, we also offer performance opportunities for our members, subject to government guidelines. View our photo gallery from past productions and theatre festivals here.

With qualified and experienced leaders, unrivalled resources and over 24 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’ Holiday Camp and Best Indoor Activity for Kids (Expat Living’s 2023 Readers’ Choice), Best Performing Arts Centre (Whizpa’s 2021 Parents’ Popular Picks) and Best Arts School (Hong Kong Living’s 2021 Education Awards).
