ABOUT RUTH
Temple University, Philadelphia
MA in Musical Theatre Studies
After graduating from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a BA in English, Ruth worked as an English teacher for two years in a Secondary school, but decided to quit and pursue her dream in education in a different way- a multidisciplinary educator who teaches not only English language, but also tells stories through singing, dancing, and acting, namely musical theatre. Besides playwriting and songwriting, she also produces children musicals for different organizations.
She has completed her master study in the United States on musical theatre education in 2020, and has started multiple projects and collaborations with different organizations, including founding her own education group, Spotlight Academy Ltd.
RUTH'S MISSION
As an artist, I wish to make musical theatre more accessible to children and young adults in Hong Kong. I wish to establish a solid curriculum that provides effective and quality education that can nurture young artists and cultivate audiences including educators and parents to appreciate the art of musical theatre.
Through musical theatre education, I wish not only to enhance students’ social, personal, and aesthetic development, but also to facilitate English language and literature education.
