Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI) Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) LEWI Working Paper Series is an endeavour of David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies. Globalisation has multiplied and accelerated inter-cultural, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious encounters, intentionally or not. In a world where time and place are increasingly compressed and interaction between East and West grows in density, numbers, and spread, East-West studies has gained a renewed mandate. LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature. Circulation of this series is free of charge. Comments should be addressed directly to authors. Abstracts of papers can be downloaded from the LEWI web page at http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/publications.html. Manuscript Submission: Scholars in East-West studies at member universities who are interested in submitting a paper for publication should send an article manuscript, preferably in a Word file via e-mail, as well as a submission form (available online) to the Series Secretary at the address below.

    WKCD-259 For information CC/03/2006 on 21 April 2006 Consultative Committee on the Core Arts and Cultural Facilities of the West Kowloon Cultural District Current Provision of Performing Arts Venues in Hong Kong Purpose This paper informs Members of the current provision of performance venues in Hong Kong. Existing Performance Venues 2. At present, there are 26 performance venues in Hong Kong with a total seating capacity of 75,626. Among these venues, 15 are managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). Their major facilities have a maximum seating capacity of 33,379. The other 11 non-LCSD venues account for the remaining 42,247 seats. Page 1 Venues of Leisure and Cultural Services Department 3. The 15 performance venues managed by LCSD at Annex A can be broadly classified into three categories: (a) Purpose-built performing arts venues with sophisticated technical facilities capable of accommodating major and technically demanding programmes from the international touring circuit as well as established local performing arts groups, and attracting patrons from wide catchment areas. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong City Hall, Kwai Tsing Theatre, Sha Tin Town Hall, Tsuen Wan Town Hall, Tuen Mun Town Hall and Yuen Long Theatre fall under this category. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Hong Kong City Hall are territory-wide facilities patronized by local citizens as well as international visitors. The Kwai Tsing Theatre, which is most sophistically equipped for theatrical productions, is capable of housing technically demanding programmes and is attracting audience from all over Hong Kong. Page 2 (b) Moderately-equipped venues capable of accommodating small to medium-scale performances and activities including those organized by the community.

    Annex (1) Dedicated Project Team A dedicated project team set up under the Commissioner for Sports in the Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) is responsible for the preparation and implementation of the Kai Tak Sports Park (the Sports Park) project. The team comprises 18 members from different professions and grades, namely Administrative Officer, Leisure Services Manager, Architect, Landscape Architect, Building Services Engineer, Structural Engineer and Quantity Surveyor. Engineers and architects in the project team will examine the works details submitted by the successful bidder and take appropriate follow-up action to ensure the project is delivered with quality, in budget and on time. The Leisure Services Managers are responsible for formulating operational requirements and making recommendations on how monitor operation performance. The HAB has also engaged consultants to provide professional advice on operation, technical issues, quantity surveying, etc. and to solicit comments, through their networks, from overseas experts on the design, construction and management of an international stadium. (2) Problem of ageing venues At present, major events in Hong Kong are mainly held at the Hong Kong Stadium (built in 1952 and renovated in 1994), the Hong Kong Coliseum (commissioned in 1983) and the Queen Elizabeth Stadium (commissioned in 1980). The infrastructure and ancillary facilities of these venues cannot fully meet the latest standards for large-scale sports events and the expectations of international athletes and event organisers. Constrained by their size, location and environment, substantial improvement to these venues is also difficult. In general, these venues are not equipped with specially-designed media centre, doping control room, and office space for event organisers and technical staff.
