Painting a Face - The Chinese Operatic Way
The Chinese Operatic WayFace painting is an integral and unique aspect of Cantonese opera. Personalities and expressions created through the elaborate use of colour tell the audience much about the individual characters and who they are. Participants in this fascinating introduction to the timeless art are fully dressed in traditional Cantonese opera costume, as well as having their faces made up and hair dressed. A professional photographer then teaches participants how to pose in the classic style. A range of costumes is available, from warrior, lady general or scholar, to emperor or empress.
