A political momentum is conceived through gathering people who share the same pursuit in work and life, regardless of whether the gathering itself is politically connected. As Václav Havel stated, a totalitarian regime would use whatever means possible to suppress people's assembly, however, certain cultural activities would survive. Taverns are the quintessence of Czech beer culture where massive underground democratic assemblies happened, whereas political debates and bantering became the soil that gave birth to civil society. Theatre requires regular rehearsals and teamwork, it demands the artists themselves to possess personal opinions and critical thinking simultaneously. The essence of collective arts has already formulated the paradigm of civil society and further cultivates its prerequisites, the freedom and awareness to assemble, that could unite the people for future democratic movements.

From a curriculum perspective, socially engaged arts would be the perfect medium for artists to connect with people who have not had arts education to form a political power by discussing, responding and intervening social norms with different art mediums. As a student artist, I would like to contributes to Hong Kong’s cultural heritage and democratic development by making performing arts accessible to the general public. Other than uniting people, the arts itself is the tenderest revolution, defends and preserves a generation's values in a long-drawn-out war by leading us to see the world differently. Therefore, I will make use of the scholarship to equip myself to be an all-rounded artist, to attend masterclasses, visit art festivals and run an arts community which intersects democratic practice.
