What Goes On In A Faust Drop-In Workshop?

Faust's Drop-In Workshops are designed to be a whole heap of dramatic fun for returning students, and even those who are new to drama or Faust! In each session, students will participate in games and exercises which will excite and entertain them. Each age group will run differently with session customised for each level - please read on below for a workshop breakdown on each age group!




Workshops for Tots (Ages 3 to 4)

Drama Workshops; Ages 3 to 4; Tots; Drama; Youth Theatre; Creativity; Expression

Our Tots groups will begin with a creative activity such as coloring and crafts that will be based around our theme of the day. Then our leaders will run engaging warm-up exercises that will help develop your mini performer’s vocal and physical skills. The group will then explore a book and, through songs and movement, bring different parts of the story to life. These sessions are a great introduction to drama and as they encourage confidence and creativity. 


Workshops for Ages 4 to 5

Drama for Early years; ages 4 to 5; drama; hong kong; youth theatre; workshop; fun

The 4-5 age groups will begin with activities which will help develop our child’s speaking and listening skills in ways which will make the young performers jump for joy. They will learn how to portray different characters from stories and will take turns performing in front of each other. It is also a great chance for your child to work with other children in a safe way and be creative together whilst developing relationships. The workshops are a fun, fast paced and a brilliant bite sized taste of our drama offerings.



Workshops for Ages 6 to 7

drama workshops; ages 6 to 7; hong kong; fun

The 6-7 drop in sessions will be packed with fun exercises to allow your child to let off some creative stream whilst building relationships and having fun. The workshops will also look at how to create characters. Maybe we will create our own aliens and take a journey to outer space, or we might head to the high seas and all be pirates under a useless sea captain as we go searching for treasure. Our workshops give our young performers a chance to socialise and have bags of fun in a creative way.


Workshops for Ages 8 to 11

drama workshops; costumes; drama; youth theatre; hong kong

For 8-11 year old’s we offer first of a chance of playing old and new drama games we know everyone has been missing during lockdown. We will also explore some short scripts and skits for your child to develop their acting and gain confidence working with others. It is also a great chance to make new friends and develop confidence and communication skills. Most importantly it will be fun and engaging, as we make new connections and get back to exploring drama in person.


Workshops for Teens (Ages 11 to 16)

Drama workshops for teens, youth theatre; drama workshops; teens

For our oldest groups, the drop ins are a great chance to get back into acting. Each session will explore a theme such as Improvisation and Comedy, Shakespeare or Devising. This will be chosen by our leader prior to the session. Like all our drama workshops it will be a great chance to be back in the space with other young people after so long a period away. We will be expressing all of our theatrical skills in voice, movement and characterisation through participating in drama games and exercises which will be a fantastic way to shake off the cobwebs and get performing.


Our Drop-In Workshops will run from September 23rd to October 2nd at the Faust Studios in Sheung Wan, for ages 3 through to 18. If you would like to join or find out more, please visit www.FaustWorld.com.

Talking Godot - Thoughts from Director Peter Reid

Talking Godot. Peter Reid, the director of the production of Waiting For Godot shares with us his notes on the characters and the play in-depth.  Samuel Beckett's  Waiting for Godot  was first performed at the Théâtre de Babylone, Paris on January 5th 1953 under the title 'En attendant Godot'. Originally subtitled "a tragicomedy in two acts" and famously labelled ‘a play in which nothing happens, twice’, audiences continue to debate social, political, philosophical and theological interpretations of the text which was voted most significant English language play of the 20th century in a poll by the Royal National Theatre in 1990. Waiting for Godot opens on Wednesday, October 24th at Drama Theatre, HK Academy for Performing Arts.

Mad About Hamlet

Stage Group has had the privilege of performing some of the world’s best-known plays including The Crucible, Waiting for Godot, The Tempest, Romeo & Juliet, King Lear and more. After 3 years of masked performances, we are thrilled to bring you an unmasked performance of Hamlet at the Hong Kong Arts Centre from April 27 th to 29 th 2023 .   Everybody has heard of Hamlet - most people can probably identify him as “that guy who thinks too much and holds a skull” or characterise the play as “the one where everybody dies at the end.” However, Hamlet is also considered a significant, serious piece of literature with ever growing literary criticism, reinterpretations, homages, references and parodies.    In our adaptation of Hamlet, we have decided to strip down the tragedy to its core and let the characters breathe and be recognised as fallible, strange and relatable humans. We also wanted to play with the play, taking big creative swings with our interpretation....

Peter and the Wolf (Touring Theatre)

Peter and the Wolf is a show that has been toured and performed by Faust for ten years in different forms. We’re so passionate about this piece, and in this article, we wanted to explain what amazing insights students and audience members can gain from the show! The piece is performed by three professional actors and a technical operator with set props and music all provided by Faust. Drama and Classical Music Peter and the Wolf was originally a piece of radio drama to introduce children to the magic of classical music. Each of the instrument groups represents a character in the story. In our version, a little girl finds and listens to the original version on a record player. Our cast then act out the dramatic tale with the music to bring the story to life. We hope that the production will make classical music more accessible to your students and show them how art different performance art forms can combine. Costume, Comedy and Puppets The production is also comic in tone a...
