About
WINTER FEST, AN ATH CELEBRATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR
The Winter Fest was held for the first time in 2020 at L'Espace, the French Institute of Hanoi. This event takes place over an entire weekend and consists mainly of theater, improvisation, dance, and music performances.
For ATH, it is an opportunity to celebrate the middle of the year; and for our students 12-years-old to adults, it is the possibility to express their characters on stage.
This year, 2022, our children's classes will be part of the winter fest! And yes, every class under 12 years old will be part of a public class presentation, allowing families and interested parties to see what our youngest students are doing at ATH.
The Winter Fest also allows the public to meet the ATH team and discover the variety of disciplines that our Drama and Art Space has to offer. Like the P.A.S. Festival, the Winter Fest is intended for an audience of all ages, it is free, and shares creations in English, Vietnamese, and French.
