Class 7A Drama Group
Our Work
Theatre
Believing in Text and Simplicity
Class 7A Drama Group has been exploring the possibilities of texts and emphasising their importance. We produce unique stage productions with our style of simplicity.
Experimenting with Texts
The Text Re-experimenting series serves as a platform for local artists to explore and create with texts. One of the works 2097: A Fairy Tale of Two Cities was developed into a full play and was nominated for the Best Play in the 11th Hong Kong Theatre Libre.
Preserving by Publishing
With our emphasis on texts, we publish play scripts for preserving local theatre arts and contributing to the studies of local theatre.
Cultural Exchange
We have participated in cultural exchange programmes to Shanghai, Seoul and Busan. Some of our plays are translated into English and Korean. They were also staged in London and Seoul.
Education
Drama-in-education in the School Curriculum
We have been promoting the use of drama as a teaching tool for the school curriculum and in more than 100 schools. We have developed collaboration in classroom, curriculum support and training for teachers for adopting drama-in-education in schools.
School Tours & Educational Performances
By performing at schools and collaborating with various organisations, we have used drama to bring educational messages to students and audiences. Our previous collaborators include the Environment Bureau and the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence.
Drama as a Teaching Tool for Language Education
We have been implementing many educational programmes for Chinese Language education, particularly the teaching and learning of classical Chinese. In 2020, Class 7A Drama Group was awarded the Certificate of Merit, Award for Arts Education in Schools (Non-School Division) in the 18th Hong Kong Arts Development Awards.
Community
Connecting with Communities through Arts
We connect with communities through a large variety of performances and workshops. We connect with people from all walks of life and we contribute to communities by building a strong relationship between arts and people.
