The Academy aims at making contributions to the community by bringing Art into the heart of the society. We do this in a number of ways, from community arts projects with ethnic minorities, disabled people, the disadvantaged, the young or elderly, to outreach projects that promote performing arts forms to the public.
Such projects explore the indigenous culture of the local communities, regenerate their social values and identity through the arts. They are also offered to schools and community centers that have the advantage of attracting the younger generation, thereby providing an avenue for sustained development of the performing arts in Hong Kong. Institutes such as the Academy should evolve with the needs of the community and its industries. We do so through our programmes, infrastructures, delivery methods, and technologies that reflect these needs and demands.
