International Arts Carnival - Giggling Is The Best Medicine

S4A has been invited to be a part of the LCSD’s ‘International Arts Carnival’ (IAC) since 2019. Thanks to the support of the springboard grant from the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme of the Home Affairs Bureau, S4A was able to evolve into an all-round Children’s English Theatre Company in 2018.

This grant allowed us to create, develop and perform quality age specific theatre for children aged from 6 month to 18 years of age. Our work caught the attention of the IAC division of LCSD and we have since produced a kindergarten touring show called ‘The Marvellous Box’ in 2019 reaching over 2,400 children; ‘Giggling is the Best Medicine’ in 2020 which was a collection of 15 black and white short comedy skits drawing upon silent comedy greats such as Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and ‘The Goodies’ children’s comedy show as inspiration, reaching over 11,000 viewers per clip; ‘Open Wide So I Can Look Inside’ in 2021, performed to a sell out crowd of 3-6 year olds and their families at Kwai Tsing Theatre.
