This summer, we are parachuting in MONSTERs to acting, documentary- and music-making workshops. What is a monster? No, wait! Who is a monster? It’s him. It’s her. It’s everyone!

Join us for 3 intensely fun and highly energetic weeks of creative arts ending in 3 fantastic showcases. Explore what monsters are made of, how to become one and get to know them!

This is Bravo Rising for talented youngsters from 9-13 years old. In this first ever international summer arts institute brought to you by AFTEC, the bilingual Learning Theatre™, we bring five super artists from Hong Kong and the UK to guide you along the monster exploration journey!
