Speak Up – Act Out! On Air! Improvised Drama Competition 2022/23
Organiser
Speak Up – Act Out! On Air! Improvised Drama Competition (SU-AO! On Air!) 2022/23 is organised by the Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) Section, Curriculum Support Division (CSD), Education Bureau.
Aims and Values
We believe that practising drama is a powerful tool for learning and whole-person development. We want to empower students to use drama to:
- explore situations, characters, ideas and feelings both inside and outside the classroom;
- express themselves creatively in English, and through physical and vocal expression;
- develop their self-esteem, creativity, communication skills and collaboration skills; and
- develop positive attitudes and values and generic skills, e.g. perseverance, commitment, care for others and respect for fair play.
SU-AO! On Air! offers teachers and students the opportunity to:
- be trained in drama that can be used inside and outside the classroom;
- participate in a competition in which students can challenge themselves to perform improvised drama for an audience;
- organise and participate in socially-distanced practice sessions if needed; and
- participate in socially-distanced competition sessions which can proceed regardless of class suspension and limitations on group gatherings.
