Ties of Tradition: Chinese Opera & Knot Tying Workshops (Dec 7)
Welcome back to another double-feature event!
WHEN: Saturday, December 7 2024, 1:00PM to 4:00PM
WHERE: Chinatown Plaza Mall - 106 Keefer Street
Chinese Opera Workshop: This workshop will be taught by Linda - a local Chinatown Elder who was a professional opera director for decades before she came to Canada. Linda has 8 years of opera school under her belt, starting at a young age and later studied at an opera university focusing on directing.
In this workshop, she’ll show you the basics of opera and perhaps you’ll be able to rehearse a short and impromptu dance with community!
Knot Tying Workshop:
This workshop will be taught by Tajliya Jamal from Go够Studio - a local artist in the community. In this workshop, you will learn how to tie Chinese knots in various colours! As knot-tying can be rather dexterous, for accessibility and ease, the knot tying will be done via pipecleaners. Tassels will be provided to add on to the bottom of your knot!
Go够Studio is a screen printing project prioritizing slow production, collaboration, and accessible art. It is run by Tajliya Jamal, who loves printed matter, comics, and book forms. To learn more, you can find them on instagram at @gogoustudio and @tajliyaj!
