Have you ever imagined that you are dancing, singing and acting under the spotlight?

Having undergone the process of audition, intensive training in dance, vocal and acting 3 times per week in 5 consecutive months as well as the 4-day training camp in Macau, 39 selected students participated and performed the Best Choreography of Tony Awards, “Footloose the Musical”, in 2018 CityU Arts Festival from 18 - 20 October 2018. Students’ devoted and animated performance brought round after round of applause till the show ended. This is the third year that Student Development Services organized the CityU Musical. Apart from local students, students from South Korea, Sweden, South Africa and Indonesia also actively participated in the musical this year. Students learnt professional stage production, and developed self-awareness and confidence through the process of practicing. We believe that it is an unforgettable experience that will remain in the memory of students and audience now and ever.

This year’s Footloose team is like my family. We trained hard, shed tears and blood (I sure did) together. We all had our ups and downs but I am proud to say we always have one another during the tough times. I could not have asked for a better cast, and I am grateful for being able to perform again on CityU’s stage as a return performer. I have further explored more possibilities in terms of the roles I can actually play, as well as being able to communicate with the directors and cast members more effectively.

Prof. Way Kuo, the President and Prof. Horace Ip, Vice-President (Student Affairs) enjoyed the show and taking photos with students.
