Chinese Opera is a beautiful traditional art with a long history. Its expression, facial as well as physical gestures and movements are symbolic and mesmerizing. This course, opens to the public at large, focuses on gestures and movements commonly seen and used in Chinese Opera. Starting with basic footwork and hand movements, the trainer will slowly lead the participants to learn the more intricate ones, like postures and poses, horse riding, and especially the use of the “water sleeves” which are regarded as the quintessential  feature of Chinese Opera. Towards the end of the course, the trainer will teach the participants the skills in handling various stage weapons like the sabre, sword, and the lance. At the conclusion of the course, the participants will understand the fundamental principle underlying all forms of Chinese Opera, and that is, “every movement is a dance”. Each session will begin with about ten minutes of stretching and warming  exercise led by the trainer. Participants are expected to purchase their own training paraphernalia such as “water sleeves” and tassle whips. They may if they wish purchase them through the trainer.
