Creative Playground - Basic Training in Creative Elements

“Creative Playground” is a learning programme on the basics of experimental theatre specially designed for local young people aged 16-25, using the creative concept of Danny Yung, the pioneer of Chinese experimental arts, as a blueprint, with the aim of training local artistic talents. After interviews and auditions, trainees of Creative Playground will participate in a series of courses on the basic skills of creativity, including lessons on the body, sounds, space, technology, symbols and structure. They will learn to know themselves and theatre, as well as to learn about theatre performance and creation.
