Creativity is about endless possibility. Imagined worlds. Imagined futures. Imagined versions of ourselves.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\t\n\n[vc_separator color=”custom” css=”.vc_custom_1612965678323{padding-top: 32px !important;}” accent_color=”#bbbfb5″]

We were all born creative.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children naturally think outside of the box.\u00a0Regrettably, society can sever a boy from the flow of his innate wild imagination. Our work is to help every boy at Hilton College to rediscover this aspect of himself. To cultivate in him essential 21st<\/sup>-century skills: An ability to tap into his creativity, problem solve and think critically. To be able to reflect upon, understand and express himself and his spiritual nature. To appreciate the equally important experiences of others. And to communicate and work effectively in a team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t

Our Arts & Culture team exists to inspire expression \u2013 both of the self and the collective.<\/h3>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t

A tension arises between the integrity of the individual and the group. Not unlike in life. That\u2019s where we\u2019re pressed to seek what it is that connects us. To unearth creative ways to celebrate individuality within the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1640855093422{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #78816c !important;}”]

Real men have the courage to be vulnerable and to express themselves through the visual and performing arts.<\/h3>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t

<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\t\n\n

\n\t

For 21st<\/sup>-century men, this is a critical skill. We develop tenacity and resilience in the face of criticism. Staying true to our unique voice and exploring creative expression is what makes us fully human.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1640855112634{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #4a7676 !important;}”]

One of the gifts of a relatively small school is that we require mass participation to make our productions and events happen. No matter their abilities or predispositions, everyone pitches in to pull something remarkable together. We challenge boys to work across disciplines \u2013 at Hilton they must play sport as well as be involved in the arts. We grow the whole boy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1617029899010{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″]

Everybody\u2019s work, from the most technically proficient executions to the most raw of outputs, gets a platform at our art exhibitions. The boys share the stories of their creative process and motivations. Because it is the journey that inspires and connects us. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n[vc_empty_space]

\n\t\n\t

We believe exposing our boys to our nation\u2019s greatest talent is important<\/h3>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t

It inspires and opens minds. With our world-class theatre and spaces to accommodate pop up art galleries, our campus is also home to the country\u2019s second-biggest annual arts festival.<\/p>\n

Our engaged and passionate Arts team offers the boys broad exposure \u2013 from visual art forms to orchestra, public speaking, debating and marimba. From dramatic arts to choir and jazz band. We challenge boys to participate, experiment, explore, expand.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a combined production of Hilton College and St Anne\u2019s Diocesan College, was performed live at the Hilton College Theatre from 24-28th April 2022 as part of Hilton College\u2019s 150th anniversary celebrations. The creation of all aspects of the production involved the combined talents of nearly 600 people involved either virtually, or live, in the performance. Directed by Luke Holder, Lynn Chemaly and Joslyn Anderson.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n[vc_raw_html]JTNDJTIxLS0lM0NpbWclMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjEwMCUyNSUyMiUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIyaW1nLWZsdWlkJTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuaGlsdG9uY29sbGVnZS5jb20lMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdGhlbWVzJTJGYXJnZW50YS1jaGlsZCUyRmltYWdlcyUyRm11c2ljJTJGbXVzaWMtZmluYWwuZ2lmJTIyJTNFLS0lM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/JloNhVFwLow”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

In 2021 and 2022, FUNK has been produced in an online format, known as #digiFUNK. Hilton and St Anne’s have collaborated in this year’s offering \u2013 an exciting partnership choreographed by HOD of Drama at St Anne’s, Joslyn Anderson<\/h4>\n

FUNK has become a firm favourite on our annual school production calendar. It evolved as an idea to create a dance programme for schools with very specific aims: To unite schools in working towards a common goal; to give drama students and their teachers the opportunity to create and rehearse pieces of dance theatre for public performance; and, perhaps most importantly of all, to enable young people to see that movement, dance and dance theatre is accessible to them and is not only in the hands of professional adult dance companies.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_TaA5kxJYak”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column]
