23 Apr (Tue) - 24 Apr (Wed)
A two-day Devising Theatre Workshop was successfully held on 23 and 24 April 2019. The workshop broadened the boundaries of conventional script writing, and encouraged all participants to share their personal stories with the theme of “growth”, “life” and “dream” through various drama activities, such as theatre games, improvisation and stage movement exercises. These stories would become the key elements of their collective creation – the Devising Theatre.
The students found that the workshop was interesting. Apart from learning drama skills and techniques, they were able to understand more about themselves through reflection and learn how to become an empathic listener. The event organiser and the instructor showed their appreciation to the Workshop and looked forward to similar events to be organised by The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in the future. This Devising Theatre Workshop was a pilot workshop of “Slash Nomads” programme of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs), co-organised by the Academy.
