Hello, and Happy Winter Holidays to you all! My name is Matthew Baker
and I’m a Youth Theatre Leader here at Faust. The Winter Holidays are a magical
time of year for all people and cultures in Hong Kong, and this is no different
here at Faust International Youth Theatre. What could be more magical than the gift
of storytelling, both through drama or creative writing, for your children at
this time of year?
Winter Theatre
The holidays are a time for fun and learning. Here at Faust, we
believe those things should never be separate. Allow your child to dive into
festive tales and set their imaginations on fire by playing different
characters and gaining confidence in our Holiday Theatre Programme. In the
past, I’ve written a play called All I want for the Holidays is you! which is about reindeers that learn
to be friends and help Santa deliver presents. This show was made specifically
for 4 to 5 year olds. We have also made productions such as The Snow Queen for
ages 8 to 11. All in all, this year we have prepared plenty of festive stories
in our bag of tricks for your children to enjoy!
Our Winter Theatre programmes run for a week (December 17th
to 21st), or 3 days (December 27th to 29th /
January 2nd to 4th), with groups divided according to
age (4 to 5, 6 to 8, 8 to 12). We believe that children should work with those of similar age and ability
so projects can be levelled to your child and content be appropriate and
engaging for them. At the end of the week, we produce a performance for you the
parents or guardians to come and watch and see the progress that your child has
made as well as a fun, festive performance creating a memory that will last a
lifetime.
Play in a Day
If you have only one day to spare why not join us on Saturday, 22nd
of December and create a Play in a Day! In this workshop for ages 8 to 12, we will be building a
comedy pantomime, which is a British form of theatrical comedy-drama. This
year's pantomime will be based on Jack in
the Beanstalk and will be directed by drama school trained Josephine Lane,
who is another talented leader here at Faust. Our Play in a Day workshop
is fast-paced and gives a taste of what you can expect if you come and join us
at Faust for one of our term time programmes.
Creative Writing
If it’s the written word that really excites your child or you would
like them to build confidence when writing then why not join our Creative
Writing programme for ages 6 to 13? What sets us apart from others is that our programmes focus
on making your child really enjoy writing and showing them that the limit of
their imagination is infinite. Through carefully planned exercises and
workbook, your child will produce their own creative writing pieces. I have led
projects where we’ve created our own magical adventure into mythical lands. I
love working with young writers to help them improve on their writing and
develop their own unique style. At Faust, we believe there are stories inside
every child just waiting to burst out of them.
Don't miss out on our Winter Holiday programmes! Join us and allow your child
to dive into their creativity and develop their inner creativity through
storytelling!
Happy Holidays!
