On Monday HKELD was invited to see The Phantom of the Opera costume exhibit at 1010 in Central, interview the stars and get a special preview of the performance. Musical lovers worldwide have fallen in love with Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical and it's very exciting that Phantom will be in Hong Kong for such an extended run.

Occupy Central Clearance Has Begun11-12-14
Last night various art organizations worked hard to preserve and archive the art at Occupy Central and Occupy Causeway Bay. This morning we woke to post-it less walls and glitter bombed streets. We heard boys and girls shouting "We will be back!" with joy in their voices. They are not considering this a failure. It's a strategic retreat.

Preview-Three Little Men-Brave Heart Theatre28-11-14
Brave Heart Theatre has opened two shows so far in the past couple months but they're not finished yet with their inaugural 2014 season. They're closing with a world premiere piece by Wing Man Lam - a local HK playwright getting her debut with a new theatre company in an alternative performance space, the Premium Sofa Club. An enthusiast about life and art, I was very excited to chat with her and Tom Hope (Artistic Director of Brave Heart) about creating new work and working on a world premiere play.
Freespace Fest in Fotos!24-11-14
Freespace Fest took place over the weekend at the West Kowloon Cultural District. Approximately 40,000 people attended. It was a great event for families and kids who were able to participate in art projects and performances that were accessible and free. It was also nice to see many mediums on display: circus, puppetry, modern dance, music and physical theatre. We hope to see Freespace Fest back next year!
