Come join us this Christmas for an afternoon of themed theatrical fun! Everyone is welcome to join our festive games where we will attempt to reduce the complete works of Grimm's Fairytales into a one-minute performance and challenge ourselves to make a tuneful Christmas medley of carols by humming only! So if you are ready to get into the festive spirit by twisting your body into the shape of a mince pie or modelling your friends into the various parts of a snowman, come along and join our fun!

Participants are asked to give a small donation of HK$100 to attend this event. All proceeds will be donated to Mother's Choice who are raising funds this winter for medical care to keep their babies healthy through the challenging flu season. Mother's Choice is a Hong Kong-based non-profit organisation which concerns itself with the plight of Hong Kong's single teenagers and their family members coping with crisis pregnancies.

 

This term Stage Group (ages 15 - 18) has been looking at the world of mime and physical theatre. This has included, amongst other things, a study of Marcel Marceau's Bip the Birdkeeper and The Lion Tamer, Cirque du Soleil's Storm, Pilobilus Shadow Theatre, Jerome Murat's mime and illusion, Rowan Atkinson's Invisible Drum Kit and Pink Tights and Plenty of Props.  

On November 19th we had a special workshop as part of our study of mime, held by Theatre of the Silence (TOS) at the Faust Studio. One of the company's deaf performers, assisted by an interpreter, led the group on a voyage of mime discovery helping us understand how more complicated performances start with the simplest of signs or movements. Edwin, one of the founders of TOS, who has performed with the company all over the world, provided an inspirational workshop which will be remembered by participants for years to come. In just a short period of time it was clear to see that Stage Group's confidence levels in this specific theatrical genre had come on leaps and bounds and by the end of the evening we were enacting complex scenes with great clarity for our audience.
