We’re very proud of our excellent team of dedicated professionals who work for Faust. They bring a wealth of experience to each workshop benefiting all involved.

	Derek Ko – Assistant Leader Derek is a third year student at The University of Hong Kong studying for a Bachelor's in Science (Exercise and Health). He is a true drama enthusiast and loves to work with children. He studied drama in his A-level exams and enjoys being in school productions -- even at university level. His most recent English-language productions include: Les Miserables School Edition and Our Country's Good. Always armed with enthusiasm and energy to tackle whatever comes his way, he is inspired by Zen Zen Zo – a physical theatre company from Australia. His motto is: Life is a grand stage, and I intend on making a lasting performance. He is extremely excited and can't wait to continue working with Faust this season with all the students!
	Clara Kim – Assistant Leader Clara has always had a passion for theatre which was why she opted to study GCSE Drama, but she was never actively involved with a company until she moved to Tokyo. Whilst attending the International School of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, she became heavily involved with school musicals (having been in three and starring most recently as Matron Morton aka Mama for a Chicago showcase performance) and had the pleasure to be acquainted with Jonathan Hagans - Sacred Heart's Head of Drama and the President of Tokyo's oldest English theatre company - Tokyo International Players (currently in its 115th season!). She got involved with TIP by helping out backstage but slowly got more and more involved with the Costuming department. By the end of TIPs 114th season, Clara was in charge of hair and makeup and was co designer of the sets and props for Seussical the Musical Jr. Now Clara's back in Hong Kong and is excited to be a part of Faust!
	Nina Muller – Assistant Leader Nina grew up in Switzerland and has been living in Hong Kong for one year where she regularly takes part in improvisational theatre. She has acted in many staged plays, varying from classics like Georges Feydeau’s ‘Notre Futur’ to devised comedies. Her interest in theatre and cinema led her to Glasgow, Scotland, where she took English Literature and Slavonic studies, focusing on existentialist works of the likes of Samuel Becket, Tadeusz Rosewicz and Andrej Tarkovsky. She worked with children overseeing drama activities as part of a mentoring outreach programme and found this experience to be particularly rewarding. She looks forward to sharing her passion for drama with Faust students.
	Yetta Yim – Assistant Leader Yetta was raised in Hong Kong and earned her bachelor degree majoring in Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong. She developed a love for drama at an early age. She is currently a teacher of playgroups at various schools and non-profit organisations. She has been working as an assistant leader with Faust since 2009. She enjoys working with children of all levels and abilities through drama.
