About the Society of Performing Arts
The Society of Performing Arts (SPA) started out as the Drama Club under Stella Lee in 2000, when the Beauty and the Beast was staged with A-Levels students. In 2003, SPA was formed, following the decision by the club to expand into music and dance. This year marks the seventh year where lecturers and students have gathered in the interests of pursuing the performing arts.
