Description
Hello world music education conference, Beijing Opera is coming! This workshop aims to show the global music and education colleagues in China, the unique charm and teaching practice of Beijing Opera art. The formation and development of Beijing Opera and anhui have a deep historical origin. It was born 200 years ago. Therefore, anhui is the hometown of Beijing Opera. From anhui, this is not only a successor, but also a Beijing Opera practitioner, bringing this bright art into the world music education stage, opening a window to the world to understand the Beijing Opera.Our workshop will be a comprehensive, immersing cultural experience:1. the echo of history and the cultural foundation: briefly introduce the Beijing Opera from "Huizhou class to Beijing" to becoming a national essence, and to be listed as "the human intangible cultural heritage", and the artistic value of one of the world's three major drama performance systems (Mei Lanfang system).2. Visual analysis: to show the profound charm and teaching application of Chinese opera art, and to focus on the two most representative schools of art, Mei Lanfang's "Mei School" and "Cheng School".3. The deconstruction of visual art: show and explain the exquisite clothing of Beijing Opera, the ornate headdress and the symbolic and strong face of the makeup, the cultural metaphor and the character password behind the design.4. Experience: guide participants to experience Beijing Opera's "four work" - singing (voice and appeal), reading (Beijing localism), doing (the program), and playing (martial arts). We will design simple interactive links, and make way for the people who are willing to try their sleeve work, sketch their faces, and so on, and feel the charm of the opera performance.5. Teaching fusion and practice: sharing how we can incorporate Beijing Opera art into the innovation practice of Chinese schools, show how to stimulate the interest of teenagers in traditional art, and realize the creative inheritance and interdisciplinary integration of traditional culture.The workshop is designed to build a bridge of multiculturalism through the simple art exhibition. We believe that the comprehensive, virtual and programlistic aesthetics of Beijing Opera art can provide innovative teaching inspiration and dialogue space for global music educators. We look forward to exchanging mutual learning with colleagues around the world to discuss the new life of traditional art in contemporary education.
