Project Description

HKADC Drama Devolved Grant Scheme

Translated Play Festival 2009

“Translated Play Festival” is sponsored by Drama Devolved Grant Scheme of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. It aims to promote translated play to local drama community. As the organizer, Theatre Space provides specialised talks and workshops to foster a conducive environment for local drama groups. Through introducing dramaturg and design adviser to the selected 6 groups, experience and resources are shared among the drama community.

Objectives
Outstanding translated play has its own wide-embracing universality. With presence of cultural differences, it always broadens visions of the audience to generate entirely new inspirations in examining problems. We organise a translated play festival for local drama groups with below expectations:

‧to provide a communication platform for local groups and high quality foreign plays
‧to lessen production burden, focusing on analysing text and characters
‧to induce local groups a better understanding of how quality scripts are written
‧to broaden horizon of the audience, stimulating creativity
‧to introduce “Mini Theatre”, showing how complex ideas can be expressed in simple terms
