Footloose the Musical: Joy of Music and Dance Under the Spotlight

Have you ever imagined that you are dancing, singing and acting under the spotlight?

Having undergone the process of audition, intensive training in dance, vocal and acting 3 times per week in 5 consecutive months as well as the 4-day training camp in Macau, 39 selected students participated and performed the Best Choreography of Tony Awards, “Footloose the Musical”, in 2018 CityU Arts Festival from 18 - 20 October 2018.  Students’ devoted and animated performance brought round after round of applause till the show ended. This is the third year that Student Development Services organized the CityU Musical. Apart from local students, students from South Korea, Sweden, South Africa and Indonesia also actively participated in the musical this year. Students learnt professional stage production, and developed self-awareness and confidence through the process of practicing. We believe that it is an unforgettable experience that will remain in the memory of students and audience now and ever.

Isaac believes this year’s Footloose team is like his family. They trained hard, shed tears and blood together. They all had our ups and downs but he is proud to say he always has one another during the tough times. He expressed that he could not have asked for a better cast, and he is grateful for being able to perform again on CityU’s stage as a return performer. He has further explored more possibilities in terms of the roles he can actually play, as well as being able to communicate with the directors and cast members more effectively.
