Come and join us at our Dongzhimen campus every Thursday afternoon for our exciting new program of cultural activities! Everyone is welcome!
Our new cultural activity program kicked off 2 weeks ago with a tai chi class led by Chen Laoshi, giving students a great chance to learn more about Chinese culture，practice some basic tai chi moves and speak Chinese with the group of teachers that took part.
Last week, our students and Chinese teachers made masks in the style of those worn in Peking opera. We made the masks out of clay and left them to set, so this week they are all ready to paint!
This week
Activity: Peking Opera mask painting
Place: Dongzhimen school, downstairs meeting room
Time: 5-6pm
More info: Peking opera performances first began in the 18th century and are still very popular today. The colorful and elaborate costumes, in particular the masks worn by the performers, are an integral part of the show. Come along and make your own mask! We will provide all the materials and teach you how – all you have to do is show up!
Please let us know in advance if you want to come along by emailing us at dongzhimen@thatsmandarin.com. We look forward to seeing you!
