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 4 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. View our photo gallery from past productions and theatre festivals here.

With qualified and experienced leaders, unrivalled resources and over 25 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 Indoor Activity For Kids’ and ‘Award Winning Holiday Camp’ (Expat Living’s 2024 Readers’ Choice), and ‘Best Art/Creative Class Provider’ (Sassy Mama 2019).

TERM-TIME MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOPS FOR AGES 7 TO 16

In addition to our Term-Time Drama Workshops, we also provide weekly workshop groups that focus on Musical Theatre. Our Term-Time Musical Theatre courses are suitable for children who are interested in all things related to musicals – acting, singing, dancing and more!

This season, we’ve introduced more weekly Musical Theatre workshops for ages 7 to 16 at Sheung Wan and Kowloon Tong. These workshops aim to equip students with all the skills required to be a triple-threat performer, including skills in acting, vocal technique and choreography. Children of all experience levels are welcome to join!

TERM-TIME MUSIC & DRAMA WORKSHOPS FOR AGES 6 TO 7

For children who are eager to start musical theatre at a younger age, Music & Drama Workshops are a perfect introductory programme to help them develop their drama skills with songs and music. This allows children ages 6 to 7 who love to perform and sing a group to foster those skills appropriately before taking on Musical Theatre workshops for older age groups.
