I spearheaded the application for Victoria Shanghai Academy in the Arts Award Primary category for the GBA School Awards, and I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve been shortlisted as a finalist!

We received this wonderful note from the organizers:

“Thank you for your application to the GBA School Awards. We received over 125 applications across all the different categories from more than 64 schools and organizations. We really appreciate the time and effort that you and all the other applicants put into your applications.”

I’m incredibly proud, though not at all surprised, because our students are exceptionally talented, and our small but mighty arts team creates BIG magic!

A huge shoutout and heartfelt thanks to Tonia P**n and Jessica Fan for helping to organize all the content and for bringing our vision to life through their skillful writing and filming. It’s thanks to their hard work over the past few years that we’ve been able to capture and showcase so much of the wonderful creativity happening in our department and the powerful impact it continues to make!

I’m coming to a quiet but powerful realization: if I ask my students to document their creative processes, I need to start doing the same.

As I begin designing costumes for The Amazing Adventures of Tambootie the Puppet, a South African gem I’ll be directing in Hong Kong, I’m leaning into the messy, magical terrain of process art. This production is a riot of commedia dell’arte, circus flair, and the kind of surreal storytelling that only South African playwrights can conjure.

The costume style combines Italian Renaissance elegance with the sleek silhouette of the Shanghai cheongsam. It features off-white and black ruffled textures, along with Victorian and Edwardian carnival elements such as stripes and diamond patchwork crafted from silk-like fabric.
