Have you ever thought about making your own stage costumes? The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts organised the "Creative Journey - Set & Costume Design Exhibition & Workshop 2021" on 21 and 22 July 2021 to give secondary school students the chance to exercise their creativity in costume making and stimulate their interest in theatre and entertainment arts.
In the first part, students visited the School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts Graduate Exhibition and enjoyed a guided tour led by two of the School's graduates. The students were fascinated with the wonderful sets, props and costumes. They asked thoughtful questions to gain a deeper understanding of the design concepts, production process and techniques used in making the exhibits.
After getting some inspiration from the exhibition, the students had the opportunity to create their own costumes in the Costume Making Workshop. They came up with creative ways to manipulate materials such as fabrics and newspaper and transformed themselves into the characters in classical paintings. As the models showed off their team’s creations, they were received with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Earlier in June, several groups of secondary school students attended the Academy's School of Dance Summer Performances and the Drama Open Dress Rehearsal for You're a Good man, Charlie Brown. They were very impressed with the performances and showed interest in backstage operations.
The Creative Journey Outreach Programme will return in the next school year with a series of exciting performing arts performances and programmes. Join us as a Young Friends of the Academy member now and stayed tuned on our website, Instagram and Facebook!
有沒有想過你也可以製作自己的戲服？香港演藝學院《演藝之旅》外展計劃於2021年7月21及22日舉辦「漫遊舞台設計作品展及工作坊2021」，鼓勵中學生發揮創意，親手創作自己的戲服，激發同學對舞台製作及設計的興趣。
首先，學生參觀本屆舞台及製作藝術畢業展，在兩位畢業生導賞員的帶領下觀賞各項精緻的作品。同學欣賞場景裝置、道具、戲服時目不轉睛，更主動向導賞員發問，希望更深入了解設計意念、製作過程及技巧。
從展覽得到靈感後，學生便參加戲服工作坊。他們巧妙地運用各種物料，如布料及報紙，製作自己的戲服，化身成為古典油畫中的人物。各位「模特兒」展示製成品時，大家都拍手歡呼，將氣氛推至高峰。
6月期間，我們亦邀請了一班中學同學來到演藝學院欣賞舞蹈學院夏季演出及《最好先生》的戲劇演出總綵排。他們對表演留下深刻印象，更對後台運作深感興趣。
《演藝之旅》即將於新學年再度展開，為大家帶來一連串精彩的表演藝術活動，請立即登記成為《演藝青年之友》會員，密切留意我們的網站、Instagram及Facebook公布！
