Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups
Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups Introduction 3.1 LCSD manages 13 performing arts venues. Based on the design, roles and functions of the facilities, they can be classified into two broad categories: 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. Some of these facilities are multi-purpose in design, and may be adapted for different types of events such as concerts, theatrical and multi-arts performances. 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. Among these venues, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Hong Kong City Hall are territory-wide facilities patronized by local citizens as well as international visitors while 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. - 43 - Moderately-equipped venues capable of accommodating small to medium-scale performances and activities including those organized by the community. The Ko Shan Theatre, Sheung Wan Civic Centre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre, Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre, North District Town Hall and Tai Po Civic Centre fall under this category. Except for the Ko Shan Theatre, all other venues under this category are located in joint-user buildings with other municipal, sports, school or social welfare uses. -

Committee on Museums: Recommendation Report
LC Paper No. CB(2)2042/06-07(05) For discussion on 8 June 2007 Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs Committee on Museums: Recommendation Report Purpose This paper sets out the Administration’s response to the key recommendations in the Report of the Committee on Museums (“the Report”). The Committee on Museums 2. To follow up the museum-related recommendations of the Culture and Heritage Commission (CHC)1, as well as the recommendations in a consultancy report on the mode of governance of Hong Kong public museums services2, the Committee on Museums (the Committee) was established in November 2004 to advise the Secretary for Home Affairs on the provision of public museum services in Hong Kong including the formulation of strategies and plans for the development of museum facilities and services, and strengthening of community support and partnership in the provision of museum services. 3. The Committee set up two Sub-committees, viz. (i) Sub-committee on Development Strategy of Museum Services; and (ii) Sub-committee on Governance of Museum Services, to examine the relevant issues in depth. The Committee held 11 focus group meetings to gauge the views of the community and stakeholders, including museum staff associations, visual arts groups, museum advisers and representatives from the education sector, about public museum services in Hong Kong. During the meetings, the participants 1 The CHC was established in April 2000 to advise the Government on the policies as well as funding priorities on culture and arts. It submitted the “Culture and Heritage Commission Policy Recommendation Report” to the Government in April 2003, putting forward its policy recommendations on, inter alia, public museum services. -
Administration's Paper on Design and Installation of an Integrated
LC Paper No. CB(2)1834/07-08(01) For information LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON HOME AFFAIRS Design and installation of an integrated exhibition system for the Hong Kong Space Museum PURPOSE This paper seeks Members’ support for our proposal to design and install a new integrated exhibition system to replace the current aged one in the exhibition halls of the Hong Kong Space Museum (the Museum). BACKGROUND 2. The Museum houses two permanent exhibition halls as well as a space theatre that presents Omnimax films and planetarium shows. The two existing exhibition halls, namely the Hall of Space Science on the ground floor and the Hall of Astronomy on the first floor, are the main attractions to visitors and play an important role in achieving the Museum’s educational goal to promote astronomy and space science to the public. For instance, in 2007, more than 98 000 school children (including 451 school groups) and about 275 000 visitors have visited the exhibition halls of the Museum. A total of about 61 000 school children have also participated in the various educational activities on astronomy and space science organised by the Space Museum. JUSTIFICATION 3. The exhibition halls of the Museum were first opened in 1980 - 2 - and were renovated once in 1990 after about ten years of operation. At present, after being operated for another 17 years, many exhibits, amounting to about 20% of all the exhibits in the Museum, are outdated as a result of rapid development in astronomy and space science. For example, most space exploration missions carried out in the last two decades are left out in the current exhibits. -
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

Policy Recommendation Report
CULTURE AND HERITAGE COMMISSION Policy Recommendation Report Letter to the Chief Executive 31 March 2003 The Honourable TUNG Chee Hwa Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Dear Mr. Tung, I am greatly honoured to be appointed Chairman of the Culture and Heritage Commission in April 2000, and to work with the other members in advising the Government on the long-term policies and funding priorities in the development of culture in Hong Kong. Since the first plenary meeting in May 2000, the Commission has altogether held 23 plenary meetings, some 80 working group meetings, four retreats and four study visits. Two series of public consultations were also conducted in early 2001 and late 2002. I hereby submit to you the Policy Recommendation Report of the Culture and Heritage Commission. We have put forward about one hundred recommendations which cover overall policies as well as specific implementation strategies. The premise of the recommendations is Hong Kong's unique cultural identity as being rooted in the Chinese cultural tradition and at the same time embracing a diversity of other cultures. The spirit of this Report is best captured by the principles of the "people-oriented" and "community-driven" approaches. The "people-oriented" approach reflects our emphasis on the holistic development of people. Hence we accord priority to the nurturing of talents, in particular, education in culture and the arts for the youth. Should Hong Kong neglect creative thinking and cultural education, it will lose its competitive edge, let alone become an international cultural metropolis. Also, the experience of other international cultural metropolises serves as a caveat against government's dominant role in cultural development. -
