The Performance of Chinese Classical Theatre Master Class

Ms. Yanyan Zhang, a professional Chinese classical theatre performer, will conduct a master class/acting workshop at DRA3902 (Asian Performance). The workshop will offer hands-on experience with the body language in Chinese classical theatre acting. We will learn some of the most basic movements and sequences which require the coordination of eyes, fingers, hands, arms, legs, feet, and the torso. 

This workshop offers 10 spots for students at the CDTPS. Contact Professor Xing Fan to register.

There is no requirement for previous exposure to Chinese classical theatre. Please wear loose-fitting pants and socks.
