Traditional Chinese opera is finding new
life in a different art form. More than100 primary school teachers came to a
training course to pass on the art to schoolchildren. After learning Chinese
opera-themed (戏剧题材的) cartoons, they are now
confident that they can spark (激发) children's interest.
These school teachers proved to be quick
learners in Chinese opera. They are practising a classic piece of Yueju Opera,
a major branch of the Chinese opera family.
Fang Tingting, the performer of Shanghai
Yueju Opera Troupe, said, "I was actually nervous about teaching them,
because I thought they may not be interested. But their passion (热情) swept away my worries. I think they will do well in helping
Chinese opera."
Cartoons naturally attract
the attention of children. Introducing Chinese opera to them in this way
proved to be great.
Liu Hui,a school teacher, said, "The
children are really interested in the cartoons. As teachers, we give them some
directions and they start to copy something from the opera."
The teachers also believed this digital
method really builds a bridge between the children and this traditional art
form. And it really helps them learn the rich culture of China. They are glad
to be trained here to take on this task.
