The Cantonese Opera Performance Pavilion, the Auditorium, the Black Box and other world-class facilities deeply impressed our guests, which gave them a full picture of how the environment and all these facilities can be a strong support to assist the practice of holistic education and teaching activities. When entering Black Box, the special design has made them keep thinking ‘Why’. The Black Box equipped with professional stage lighting, sound effect and smart control system is serving as the main place for drama class, rehearsal, and performance. All the indoor materials are environmentally friendly and sound insulated, enabling it to become the best place for growing artwork.   

The lighting is specially designed for a drama performance. When the light spotted the children, the audience can better see the sign language, the facial expression and the emotional conflict of the play. With such an immersive learning experience, the emotion, history, the culture of the characters will be greatly shown on stage, which can enhance students’ understanding of the play and the characters.
