The Assembly also served as a forum for expressing one’s aspirations and finding common ground, such as when Jaspreet Kaur, 44, a dance teacher with Down syndrome who had just appeared in her first music, posed a question to Chan about her first artistic experience.
The singer recalled the primary challenges she faced, the unease she felt, and the cheerleading from other Chinese performers, especially given how she had found the Hong Kong Coliseum’s production budget to be “really overwhelming.”
Grace Lee-Khoo, who facilitates the conversations and coaches the budding editors, commented:” The charm lies in the unusual issues that’ll come up during these periods.
” There’s no bad problem. … Whatever that comes out from their tongues comes from a truly, truly natural place.”
When Chan and the cast sang Home, her most famous song, which was about finding a sense of society, with Zachary Tan, 20, who is on the range, with the violin, the atmosphere became even more personal.
” I genuinely enjoyed your issues,” Chan said”. Maintain being yourself. … Neurodivergence is nice.”
