In devised theatre, members of a theatre team collaborate creatively to produce original works. The process can be a great source of inspiration in educational settings – providing teachers with new techniques to create theatre works at school and offer students new possibilities for artistic self-expression. If you’re curious about using devised theatre at your school, find out more this July at The Process of Devising Theatre, a two-day workshop* presented by theatre educator and performance artist Neil Harris. Drawing on creative techniques used by some of the best devised theatre companies around the world, Neil shares tips on the devising process from stimulus and warm-ups, to development and performance, and explores techniques for finding inspiration using the body, space and images.

Three Lives, Three Songs is a new Cantonese music and video creation programme that brings together music industry professionals and young participants to create original songs and videos inspired by the personal stories of elderly members of the community. Organised by HKYAF in collaboration with the Hong Kong-based social enterprise Every Life is a Song – founded by renowned local songwriter Vicky Fung and lyricist Chow Yiu-fai – the programme takes place between July and October 2021. We are now seeking youth participants aged 16 to 25 with experience in songwriting, music composition, music production or music video production to join the programme.  Successful applicants will be assigned to teams of three or four according to their experience, with each team consisting of a mix of individuals specialising in music composition, lyric writing, music production and music video production. Each team will interview one elderly citizen and work together to create a song around one of the stories they hear. A group of specialist mentors will be assigned to each team to help them through the various stages of creating original songs and music videos. Successful applicants are required to attend all activities and meetings during the programme period. Completed music videos will be featured in the Jockey Club “Project Silver” Intergenerational Arts Project exhibition and an online showcase between October and November 2021. Application Process Please submit your application on or before 4 July 2021 and include at least one work sample that demonstrates your skill in your selected specialisation. Interview Process Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a 15-minute interview. During the interview, those applying as songwriters will be asked to perform a song they have written themselves (please prepare instruments and/or equipment required). Applicants applying as music producers can prepare music software or instruments for a short live sharing. Video producers can share samples of their previous works during the interview. Additional interview details will be shared with shortlisted applicants.  Programme Timeline 11 July 2021: Shortlist interviews/auditions 21 July 2021: Programme induction and mentorship pairing 4 August 2021: Team sharing  Early August to mid-September 2021: Songwriting and music production 25 August 2021: Progress presentation 18 September 2021: Song demo showcase September to early October 2021: Music video production Mid October 2021: Final video submission Late October to early November 2021: Exhibition and online showcase ** Selected applicants are required to attend all activities and meetings during the programme period.
