Introduction The School of Drama trains talented young people to become professional actors, directors or playwrights of drama. Students are encouraged not only to acquire technical skills, but to develop their creativity. All productions are performed in Cantonese.
Students can major in acting or, eventually, directing, and playwriting.
Professional skills acquired, learnt primarily through formal training in class, are developed in performance. This takes place both in workshop and in public, using theatre spaces specially designed to be adaptable to both traditional and innovative work. There is no defined route or ready-made pattern for the career of a performing artist. Some of our Drama graduates have been offered contracts by established local drama companies or television broadcasting companies, e.g., Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, Ching Ying Theatre Company, Exploration Theatre, Television Broadcasts Limited, Asia Television Limited and Wharf Cable Limited, etc. Some also form independent production groups for specific performances.
