BEHAVIOR POLICY
Starlit Voice staff works hard to ensure that everyone has a safe, educational, and fun time while participating in our programs. Behaviors which disrupt staff from effectively supervising, instructing, or interacting with participants will not be tolerated. Such behaviors may include, but are not limited to:
The following actions will be taken if the above-mentioned behaviors are observed:
Step 1:
Staff will issue a verbal warning and redirect the participant to a more appropriate behavior.
Step 2:
Staff will remove the participant from the group to discuss the behavior.
Step 3:
Staff will remove the participant from the group for a time-out and notify the parent of the behavior. Notification will vary, depending on staffing, and might be done by phone, email, or in person.
Step 4:
Staff will call the participant’s parent or emergency contact to have the participant picked up immediately.
The above steps are generally taken, in the order listed, over the course of a single session of the program. In cases of particularly malicious and/or problematic behavior, a step, or steps, might be skipped. If a participant gets to Step 4, he or she may return to the program for the next session only after discussion with the Director but will be at Step 3 upon return. Participants who get to Step 3 or 4 more than once may be dismissed from the program and might be barred from registering for future programs.
No refunds will be issued in the case of dismissal from a program based on inappropriate behavior. Important: While we might like to have eyes on the backs of our heads, we really don’t. Children retaliating against another participant is also considered disruptive behavior, so please encourage your children to speak up, and tell an instructor, if they are having problems.
LIABILITY
For safety reasons, unless previously arranged with the staff, please do not leave your child unattended at our partner schools before or after class without adult supervision. Starlit Voice will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any injury or loss of property/ damage of personal property in the partner schools.

Professional:
I’ve known I was a performer since I was 5 or 6, but I was raised to believe that it was unrealistic to even think about a career in the arts. It wasn’t until late in high school that my drama teacher helped me realise that performing was what I was meant to do. Ever since then, I’ve been teaching, learning and performing in musicals, such as Once on this Island, Jack and the Beanstalk – The Panto and Guys and Dolls. I consider myself extremely lucky to have already found such a wide community of artists who want to hear my story and use my talents to create and educate a whole new community of young performers.

Professional:
I come from a family of artists, musicians, and teachers. Performance became very prevalent in my life at a young age, whether it was playing the piano at my Grandmother’s recitals, rehearsing my lines religiously for an upcoming production, or just reciting a poem I had written at school assembly. When I moved to Hong Kong at 6 years old, I found a second home performing in youth theatre productions, where drama classes became a safe place for me to express myself in new and exciting ways, make friends, and gain confidence through experimentation. The discipline and the friends I made from those long rehearsal hours have stuck with me through the decades, and most importantly, I grew a passion that led me to choose to study the Theatre Arts at a higher level during my IB diploma and at university.
My love of teaching started very differently: when I was lucky enough to become an older brother. As a teenager I read every night to my younger sister and learned early on how rewarding it is to be involved in a young person’s development. I took university psychology courses to learn more about child development, started teaching as a behavioral specialist in California public schools with the mentorship of my child psychologist grandmother, and have spent the last 6 years teaching with the values of radical empathy and patience in a safe environment.
When I’m not teaching the Theatre Arts I still pursue my love of performance through music, acting, hosting events, and occasionally reciting Shakespeare for the Hong Kong Philharmonic. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to give back to youth theatre in Hong Kong as it has given me so much.

Professional:
My passion has always been to perform and be onstage, but I did not believe in my abilities and talent. Hence, after graduation I joined a Law Firm, and was stuck in a nine to five job. One day I came across a quote from Walt Disney “if you can dream it, you can do it.” It gave me the push to quit my job and pursue my dreams. I enrolled into a 2-year Musical training course and did musicals locally. After many attempts, I finally got my dream job to work in Hong Kong Disneyland and was given multiple opportunities to be a part of many different shows such as the Festival of the Lion King, Jedi Training Trials of the Temple. I also hosted many events for Disney such as the reveal of the character Cookie Ann, 10K Weekend, and Countdown parties in Disney.
I realized believing and trusting your own abilities is key for happiness, I can fulfil my dreams because I finally believed in myself, so why can’t my students do the same?
