About Drama Education

Chung Ying has been advancing main stage performance and drama education project in parallel manner since its establishment. Education and Outreach Department was set up in the 90s, aiming to promote Theatre-in-Education and maximize public participation. Drama courses for people come from various age groups, backgrounds and with different needs are designed, including Kids Drama Courses.
 

Kids Drama Courses
 

To link up drama with child development, Chung Ying have established a children drama education concept, SMILE, as an essence derived from years of experiences. Through group activity and artist development, a better self-awareness could be acquired, as well as an all-rounded and balance skills set could be developed. SMILE refers to five core elements of child development, namely Self-care, Motor-skills, intelligence, Language and Emotion.

SMILE Kids Drama Courses are available for K1, K2, K3 and P1-3 students. The courses operate with academic calendar (starting from September and ending at August every next year) and divided into 4 seasons. There is an open class and personal development record at every season for parents to share the happiness of learning. In summer times, extra intensive classes will be arranged to prepare the year-end finale performance. On top of classes in Kwai Tsing, Yuen Long and Jordon, Chung Ying would further explore more possibilities of arts education and cooperation opportunities with various groups.
