Dear Members,
Last Saturday week, I experienced an Imprint rush. This can clearly be defined as a moment when one feels grateful for having made the decision to be part of Hong Kong WiPS.
That day, I was in fact in a rush to find cool shelter from the Hong Kong glue air summer. Indeed, it was sticky. Silk Road Café at […]
Dear Members,
It has indeed been a very long time since we last met in person and had the luxury of one another’s company in the familiar setting of the Hughes Room. You have been missed!
It was in fact 20 February 2020 when we had our last event, Are You Stuck? How ironic it is then that shortly after this, we were all […]

Zoom is the new place to hang out online and has proved popular as well as effective. Face to face contact is […]

Panellists Clare Stearns, Sarah Brennan and Lindsay Varty provide insights into how they navigated around obstacles on the road to success
By Heather Diamond
This enjoyable and entertaining event, held at the FCC on 20 February 2020, showed that although our three panelists work in very different genres, their experiences have been similar. Clare Stearns runs a theatre company and writes plays based on the hidden histories of women. Her upcoming play, Mussolini’s […]
