The Creative Journey outreach programme returned in Academic Year 2025/26 with a series of exciting performances and activities tailored to secondary school students for them to jump-start their creativity and performing arts abilities!
Creative Journey offers a wide range of performing arts activities in Chinese Opera, Dance, Drama, Film and Television, Music, and Theatre and Entertainment Arts, including stage performances, workshops, film screenings and exhibition guided tours, etc. Secondary school students will have the chance to enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons in history, culture and social phenomena through performing arts experiences.
All activities are free of charge. Reserve now before all seats are gone!
Young Friends members can even reserve up to 2 places for each activity.
Apart from offering free programmes to promote performing arts to secondary school students, HKAPA is dedicated to advocating for education and appreciation of performing arts in the community, and to encouraging the public to take arts as a lifelong pursuit. In recent years, more intimate, non-commercial, non-profit-oriented, and reform-minded entertainments were produced by small-scale local theatre companies. The Academy arranged a radio interview series from Dec 2024 to Jan 2025 to introduce the mission of these talented producers and playwrights who are passionate about making a difference for the Hong Kong art scene.
The radio programme was sponsored by Chinachem Group and conducted in Cantonese.
