The political and natural world is broken and the Macbeths seize this opportunity to rise through the ranks. But brutal actions have brutal consequences. Studio Starlit presents Macbeth: a tragedy that tells the story of a soldier whose overriding ambition and thirst for power cause him to abandon his morals and bring about the near destruction of the kingdom he seeks to rule.

From This Fairy-Tale Beginning, Three Resolutions Are Made — One Sister Walks One Way To Find Purpose, One The Other To Find Adventure, And The Third Stays Right Where She Is To Create A Home.

Introduction
The political and natural world is broken, and the Macbeths seize this opportunity to rise through the ranks. But brutal actions have brutal consequences. Studio Starlit presents Macbeth: a tragedy that tells the story of a soldier whose overriding ambition and thirst for power cause him to abandon his morals and bring about the near destruction of the kingdom he seeks to rule.
Are Macbeth’s victims of fate? Should we place the blame on the witches’ prophecies? Or do we accept that we, as individuals, are wholly responsible for our actions? These questions that director Terence Makapan asked himself at the beginning of the creative process will be the theme at the forefront of his interpretation of this classic, cautionary tale.

Brief Introduction
Three young sisters are left in a forest by their woodcutter father and forced to find their own way in the world. From this fairy-tale beginning, three resolutions are made — one sister walks one way to find purpose, one the other to find adventure, and the third stays right where she is to create a home. Years later, having circumnavigated the globe and fought Vikings, crossed oceans, tamed wilds, and achieved greatness, the three sisters meet again, as women.

MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION & SPECIAL NEEDS
I understand and agree that I am responsible for determining the Child’s medical, physical or other qualifications and suitability for participating in the event/course/class and its activities.

APPROPRIATE CLOTHING
Students should wear appropriate, comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement during the class.
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.
During out-of-school rehearsals, performances and classes children must be left in the care of a current Starlit Voice Company Member. A list of our current staff can be found on our website under the ‘About Us’ tab. Professional Actors and other outside practitioners employed specifically for the purposes of production or guest lecturing are not deemed ‘Starlit Voice Company Members’ and will not be liable to take responsibility for a child’s welfare. Starlit Voice cannot be held responsible for any incident occurring from negligence, where a child has been not left by a parent or guardian under the supervision of a Starlit Voice Company Member.

Professional:
I have always been a creator at heart. I’ve been performing since the age of 6. Even though I studied to be an actor, by the end of my studies I was more interested in writing and creating art, so I thus adopted the label of “theatre maker”. I’ve written and directed several plays, with one of them being published back in my native country of South Africa. I want to instil a love for creativity within my students and help them find their own voices. On a more personal level, I am a total extravert who loves interacting with people in any capacity and yes, this includes competitions as well.
Personal:
Favourite Play: The Play that Goes Wrong by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields, and Jonathan Sayer.
Dream Role: Sergeant of Police in The Pirates of Penzance by Arthur Sullivan & W.S Gilbert.
Hobby: Hiking and rock-climbing.
Favourite Place: At the top of Table Mountain
Professional:
I have always believed in the importance of storytelling. It’s what led to my childhood curiosity for the stage, which grew into life as a performer, and eventually, as a creator (writer, director, songwriter etc) of my own work. I’m still trying to put into words just what it is that I love so much about what I do! If I HAD to pinpoint one thing that’s kept me in world of Performing Arts for so long, it’s that the journey of coming together to bring stories of all sorts into existence is never and will never be short of fulfilling. So that’s what I hope to continue doing – discovering, experimenting, and collaborating to tell all kinds of stories that matter to us.
Personal:
Favourite Play: F***ing A, Susan Lori-Parks or Stop Kiss, Diana Son
Dream Role: Yerma, Federico Garcia Lorca
Hobby: Yoga, Dancing, Listening to Music, Writing & Snacking Away!
Favourite Place: Toss up between the beach and my bed.
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?
Personal:
Favourite Play: Avenue Q
Dream Role: Matilda from Matilda the Musical
Hobby: Basketball, snowboarding.
Favourite Place: Slopes of Hokkaido
Professional:
I grew up and learned a lot of what I know in South Africa. The most important lesson: if I wanted to be a successful performer, I have to create my own work. So I learned how to write, direct, produce and, of course, act (and act well, I might add). I want to my students to create their own work too; to make art that they’re proud of. When I’m not bragging about my mad acting skills, I love playing dungeons and dragons, reading, video games and sci-fi movies. I hate long walks on the beach and salmon and the phrase “mad skills.”
Personal:
Favourite Play: Lungs by Duncan MacMillian
Dream Role: Martin Dysart in Equus by Peter Shaffer
Hobby: Video Games and Reading
Favourite Place: My Bed
