PERFORMING ARTS

Our dynamic music, dance, drama and theatre tech programmes are designed to appeal to all ages and levels of experience.

Our performing arts programmes are led by a team of Hong Kong based and international practitioners who bring years of professional experience and energy to every session. In addition to these inspirational teachers and mentors, our students rehearse and perform in world class facilities that include a 350 seat professional grade theatre, 80 seat studio theatre, dance studios, music studios and noise-isolation practice spaces. Through the performing arts, HKA students develop confidence, resilience, flexibility, self-reflection and collaborative skills to take their talents to the next level.

HKA has been a proud member of the International Schools Theatre Association (ISTA) since 2017. Learn more about ISTA.

MUSIC

Whether a budding musician or a seasoned performer, our vibrant music programme inspires passion for every participant. HKA students have access to instrumental lessons, songwriting tutorials, music production workshops and rock band, orchestra and choir ensembles through which all musical genres are celebrated. Our students perform in concerts, recitals and musical productions at HKA as well as at venues across Hong Kong and internationally.

DRAMA

The Drama programme at Hong Kong Academy engages students in an active relationship with the art of theatre. It encourages creativity, nurtures the imagination, and develops empathy by requiring students to put themselves in ‘other people’s shoes.’ Drama allows students to explore many aspects of theatre, engaging with various theatre genres, world practices, and performance techniques. Through this exploration, students develop transferable skills, including communication, collaboration, creative thinking, research, and self-reflection. Our school-wide productions, and various After School Activities provide opportunities for our students to develop and hone their theatrical skills both on the stage and behind the scenes.

DANCE

From ballet to jazz, hip hop to contemporary, our after school dance programme builds skills and passion for children of all ages. Through dance, students develop body confidence, coordination and self expression.

THEATRE TECH

Sound, lights, stage design, filming and live-streaming are what put the finishing touches on an outstanding performance. Working with a director’s brief or exploring reaction to an artistic stimulus, students learn to communicate emotion and symbolise concepts through the technical elements of theatre production, such as colour, shade, lines, makeup, set and costume design.
