NAC-AEP Approved Programmes

The National Arts Council-Arts Education Programme (NAC-AEP) aims to provide all students with access to quality arts education programmes. The NAC-AEP is a database of specially selected arts education programmes that schools can purchase using an annual grant to subsidise part of the cost.

Faust offers 5 programmes approved by the NAC-AEP. Schools may use the Tote Board Arts Grant to subsidise the programme cost. For Primary and Secondary Schools, Junior Colleges and Centralised Institutes, there is a subsidy of up to 50% of the programme cost for mainstream schools, and up to 70% of the programme cost for Special Education Schools.

FOR SECONDARY & TERTIARY SCHOOLS

Improvising & Devising Theatre
Improvisation is an important part of any actors’ training, it help us out when things go wrong onstage, makes us creative when thinking of ideas and gives us confidence in difficult situations. In this workshop, students will explore using their improvisation skills in different ways, using props, making characters and getting to grips with reacting to someone else's ideas. Students learn to work as a team. As a company, they learn to support each other during performances.

An Improv Jam: Speak Good English Lah! [For all Secondary & Tertiary levels]
Improvisation is not just for jazz, rap battles, theatre and comedy. Principles of improvisation can be applied to one’s attitude towards learning and everyday situations. It can help one to cope with uncomfortable situations, creatively offer ideas, gain confidence to explore and approach learning with a fun and positive attitude. In this programme, some students will be invited on stage to participate in improvisational games like "Translator" and "Alphabet Scenes". These lucky students will get the chance to jam with professional improvisers and have a go at applying these principles in practice. They will get to learn how they can utilise these principles in their capacity as students. For example, they can apply the principles of improvisation to practise using the English Language and explore grammar rules.
