In a city renowned for international business, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts is a vital part of Hong Kong life, now approaching its 20th anniversary year. Our five Schools in Dance, Drama, Film & Television, Music and Technical Arts, plus a Chinese Traditional Theatre programme, make the Academy a vibrant centre of learning and performance. Our outstanding international reputation is based upon long-term approvals as a degree-awarding institution in all the key performing arts and related technical arts. With Honorary Fellows, visiting artists and graduates that number amongst the most talented and respected people in the arts, the Academy is vigorous in creativity, with a future that is as bright as the performers we develop. Dean Aubrey Wilson has successfully built and developed our School of Technical Arts into the finest and most comprehensive degree-granting institution of its kind in Asia, with about 170 students. The School provides training in Theatre and Film Design, Lighting Design, Stage and Technical Management, Sound Design and Music Recording, and Applied Arts that encompass Costume Technology, Property Arts and Scenic Arts. The continued development of artistic and academic standards through effective curriculum planning and the management of the School's team of academic and administrative staff will be a principal responsibility. The Dean will also teach a particular specialism.
