Arts' Options has broken new ground in elderly services by involving Hong Kong’s senior population in the performing arts. The project aims to improve seniors’ physical and mental well-being while unlocking their creative potential. It allows them to share a common passion with others and develop professional-level drama skills. Participants have the opportunity to showcase their talents to the community and achieve their dreams, even in their later years.

After years of work, it has established Hong Kong’s first senior professional theatre group, gone on two overseas exchange tours, and organised Hong Kong’s first Creative Ageing Arts Festival. This year, the project will continue to offer professional drama training and train-the-trainers programme to nurture talent within the elderly arts community. In addition to its community-based experiential theatre workshops, it will also host the second Creative Ageing Arts Festival to showcase the abilities of seniors to the public.
