Yes, that’s right, Colour My World has been expanding and collaborating with artistic minds since 2000. Over the coming months we will be marking this milestone in a variety of exciting ways, including our 20th Anniversary production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Director, Daryl Walker, has said that ‘everything from the acting to designing the sets is coming together’ and that ‘the performers are doing some great things that they can’t wait to show you’. Colour My World’s version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will take place on March 14th and 15th 2020 at Y-Studio, Youth Square in Chai Wan. This pop musical of Dream resonates our 2005 production performed at dusk in Hong Kong Park. Tickets going on sale at URBTIX starting from 7 Feb 2020!

Kaleidoscope Republik
Referencing photographs of Hong Kong skylines, buildings and aerial shots, artists will plan and draw their own fantasy landscapes. Influenced by Austrian artist/architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, our little Explorers will have at their disposal, acrylic and squeegee paints, paste paper, as well as their creative minds! On a sizeable 50x60cm canvas, interpretations of the Hong Kong city space will be transformed and then constructed 3-dimensionally.
Kaleidoscope Republik
Embrace and reconnect with the harmony of our natural environment. Using colour, shape and texture as a tool to ‘revive’ Hong Kong landscapes, here’s your chance to bring flat grey buildings to life in a large–scale group painting. Study Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s artwork of colour and flowing form as well as his work advocating environmental protection to create this gigantic masterpiece.
Also inspired by Hundertwasser’s use of tones and hues, and a focus on marine habitats, create an experimental felting project, layering whimsical shades of merino wool to form an abstract fibre art piece.
