5 foreign students from Finland in NACTA participated in the Press Conference of the brand new Beijing Opera Red Cliff in the National Grand Theater at 1:30 p.m. in Sep. 6th,2009.
Shi Hongtu, vice director of Red Cliff was invited to interact with the audience as they expected. After listening to the report of how the opera was organized and the unknown stories behind the stage. Our foreign students interacted with Shi on the stage: they learned and imitated some movements in Red Cliff from the director and his wife. Their wonderful performance not only brought applauds from the audience but also got good comments from the director. After that, the students answered the questions from the audience. Although they were not familiar with Red Cliff, and even couldn t understand the terminology of traditional Chinese opera, such as ran kou, they made a effective communication with the director with the help of the translation volunteer and got a small present for participation.
During the activity, Antti was interviewed by a TV station, He said that he was interested in traditional Chinese opera and it will benefit his career a lot as an actor if he can really know traditional Chinese opera.
Later after the activity, the staff of National Grand Theater showed their great appreciation on our participation, They are looking forward to future cooperation with our academy and hoped that there will be more and more foreign who enjoys traditional Chinese opera in order to promote the spread of it, and simultaneously, made it a bridge between the communication of Sino Chinese culture.
