This semester's project is to do a Chinese opera theatre, and while at first I had my doubts on whether
something can really come out of it (me being a Chinese descendant who has totally no attachment to my roots..), it has turned out quite exciting. Gotta say that it's a really, really beautiful art form... the movements, the costumes, the voice modulation, the face make-up...
Am really impressed by the two videos below..one is on what is called "water sleeves", really long sleeves that performers use to express graceful movements, and the other is...well...it shows that perhaps Chinese opera is best sung in Chinese huhuhuhu.....

Never knew that theatre design can be quite complicated..hufh...but, as always, it's what makes architecture interesting.
