| 2019.9.1 | 2019-2020 CAAC Workshops at Symphony Space ....moreChinese American Arts Council (CAAC) signed another year of agreement with Symphony Space's Global Arts Program, in conducting series of Workshop, Cultural Field Trip and After School Program on Chinese Opera and Martial Arts.
In this agreement, during 2019-2020, CAAC will conduct periodic workshops and demonstrations on Chinese Opera and Martial Arts at Symphony Space. Artists from CAAC were trained in China and who were stars of the Beijing and Shaoxing Opera Troupes. Recipients of numerous awards for their work in China, these artists specialize in warrior roles and are skilled in many styles of theatrical martial arts. Their performances and workshops introduce students and teachers to works from the Beijing, Shaoxing, Kun and Cantonese Opera repertories.
Teaching artists perform and discuss the five elements of traditional Chinese opera—singing, talking, acting, fighting, and tumbling--with students, providing a deeper understanding of the discipline. An exploration of these elements elicits interactive discussion, learning the five elements in the Mandarin language, and practice with stage fighting skills, movement, and mime.
The workshops and demonstrations will be held throughout the contracted period. Please check with Symphony Space for schedule at
