Miss Emily Chan is the founder and artistic director of Hong Kong Drama Education Studio Limited. She obtained her bachelor’s degree from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts’ School of Drama with a first-class honour, majoring in Directing, and thereafter furthered her studies in Chinese University of Hong Kong for a Master of Arts degree in Intercultural Studies.

 

A veteran theatre professional who has devoted herself in the field of drama education for almost a decade, Emily has worked with a variety of educational institutions, ranging from preschools to universities. In recent years, she has been a frequent collaborator with the Education University of Hong Kong in holding drama workshops and serving as a guest speaker. She is also currently a guest lecturer in the Department of Early Childhood Education. 

 

As an avid supporter of the integration of drama education into the local curriculum, Emily has taken the role of associate teacher of Hong Kong Repertory Theatre and held numerous professional development workshops to share her hands-on teaching experiences with teachers from local schools such as the Education University of Hong Kong Early Childhood Learning Centre, Sun Island English Kindergarten and Heng on Baptist Nursery School.

 

Along with contributing her talents in drama education, Emily has shown her enthusiasm and dedication in community work. Since 2012, she has been working hand in hand with Hong Kong Correctional Services Department in promoting anti-crime awareness through dramatic arts. The two productions in which she served as the director and playwright were both highly regarded and critically acclaimed.

 

Emily’s expertise in directing and script-writing is not limited to the local vicinity but is manifested with global-mindedness. Her repertoire—with a wide range of genres and themes—is a clear demonstration of her keenness in exploring and experimenting with innovative ideas.
