About DSHK Company
On Fung Building, 1/f, 110-118 Caine Rd, Mid-level
(Woodland Montessori School)
The Audition
This term, we’ll be doing things a little differently. Students registering for DSHK are not required to take part in an audition for entry into the Company. However, students will be auditioned as part of the process to cast our summer production, The Chronicles of Narnia. The audition will be a very simple and straight forward process; on the 26th of January, students will be required to take part in an audition workshop where they will work along with other students and practitioners to perform a series of Narnia inspired devised pieces of theatre. As with our previous auditions, students will also be required to prepare a second piece which, in short, can be anything. This piece can be anything from a song which you either sing or play on an instrument that you are good at. Or it could be something you've written, perhaps a piece of prose or a poem or even a bit of a play. You could also perform a piece of choreography. Basically, the second piece is all you. We want to see what you can do and what you can bring to the table.
The Course
DSHK Company is a creative theatre company for talented young performers ages 10 - 18.
At DSHK performers can continue their journey with the performing arts and take their passion and talent to the next level. DSHK focuses on the core disciplines found in professional actor training, incorporating acting, vocal training and movement. We also aim to develop creative artists that understand all aspects of performance and production, and DSHK’s unique approach to training ensures that members will also be introduced to the fundamentals of stage management as well as other creative areas such as lighting design, sound design and set design.
Why It's Unique
Entry to DSHK Company is by audition and only the most committed and passionate of young performers are invited to become a company member. To ensure that each individual is given the room to grow and develop to their full potential, we only accept a maximum of twenty-four people into the company at any one time. Company members benefit from an exciting combination of technical classes led by experienced industry professionals, small showcase performances and larger public productions at major venues.

Magic and Mayhem
This year, we join forces with Traidhos Three Generation Camps to deliver a specialized drama and theatre workshop series against the backdrop of some of Thailand’s most beautiful scenery.
Prepare to embark on a mystical and turbulent adventure as our team of highly skilled practitioners guide you through some of Shakespeare’s and Marlowe’s famously gritty and unworldly plays. Experience a week of high energy English drama training culminating in a unique group performance.
The Tempest
April 6 – 12
Dive into the magical abyss of one of Shakespeare’s final plays. Find yourself washed up on the shoreline of a strange, isolated island. Mystery, manipulation and a measure of comedy make this one wonderfully wild tale.
Macbeth
7th – 13th July
Macbeth, mighty general and war hero. Lady Macbeth, Macbeth’s wife, cunning as a fox, and as venomous as a viper. Love can be a poison, arsenic dipped in honey, and darkness can be born of goodness. A great epic is spun, as the two plot and conspire for the throne.
Dr. Faustus
21st – 27th October
Dr. Faustus wants it all, but when he makes a deal with the devil he gets a greater barter than he bargained for. Sorcery, seduction and a dance with the devil. A ferocious frenzy of decadent delights, a spectacularly devilish display.
