Welcome to Faust's 11th season! We have lots
of fun and creative activities planned that we
hope will entertain, educate and inspire our
members!
Our new term starts on the
19th September (unless you are member of our
groups at HKIS which start earlier on the 14th and
15th September). You will shortly be receiving by
email term schedules which share with
you what your child will be doing this term.
Our eleventh season sees us welcome
some new members to the Faust team. Jessica
McClellan has joined us as a full time Drama
Leader (Alexa Massingham has returned to the UK to
pursue future study). We also welcome Aarti
Hemnani who will be working on our exciting new
Theatre in Education
programme.
We have lots of
exciting plans for our 11th season, some of which
are outlined below and we look forward to sharing
these events with you. I am looking forward to
meeting you in the coming terms and if you have
any feedback then please don't hesitate to contact
me.
Regards
Claire Glover
General
Manager

Alice in
Wonderland 
We start our new term off with news of our
exciting new production of Alice in
Wonderland. This will run from the 21st to
the 24th January in the Shouson Theatre. Director
Keon Lee and Assistant Director Jessica McClellan
are looking forward to bringing this classic to
life on stage. An original production that
will breathe new energy into the tale as we follow
Alice down the rabbit hole and into
Wonderland.
There are many fun and challenging roles
for our Faust members from ages 8 to 18. This
will be one theatrical journey that cast
members and audiences will
never forget! Auditions have been
scheduled for Friday 25th & Saturday 26th
September. Click here
for an audition form and more details. Please
note, you need to be a registered (and paid)
member of Faust this term to
audition.

Half-Term Play in a
Day 
This term also sees the return of our popular
Play in a Day, where children have just one day to
put on their own performance.
For our first Play in Day of season
11 we will be working on the popular
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in
a condensed 30 minute format. With a wide
range of colourful characters to perform and many
sticky and surreal situations to get out of,
it is a great play for our young members to
perform during the half term. In just one day they
must practice lines, stage the play, get
costumes ready and rehearse so the
audience enjoys the show! Click here
for a registration form. |

Theatre in
Education 
Faust's recently launched TIE programme
produces exciting educational productions of
literary classics to be performed in schools
across Hong Kong & Kowloon. Our
three-member adult cast brings the magic of
live theatre directly to students through
interactive performances that inspire discussion
and promote learning. Performances currently
on tour are Peter & the Wolf and
The Secret Garden, both of which have
received rave reviews thus far from
audience-schools. Also on offer, from September
2009, are tailor-made workshops for schools
to engage their students in before or after seeing
a TIE show. Contact Aarti on 2547 9114 or
email TIE@FaustWorld.com for more
information on bringing TIE to your child's
school!

kids loved having the stage and show 'all to
themselves' - thanks for giving them a special
time!"

children and the staff thought it was a great mix
of acting and music and also getting the audience
involved"Teacher from an international school

Drama Game of the
Month
Shoe
Shuffle!
Pass any
easy-to-handle object around the circle or place
it in the centre - for example a shoe, a bucket or
a piece of cloth. Each person uses it in turn,
changing it into a different object each time. It
can be anything apart from what it really is!
As a variation: have other members join the
improvisation so that a short scene develops!
