Events and stories coming up in the next few days
Yang Chi among Peking opera cast
The China National Peking Opera Company's return to the Peacock Theatre in London's West End will feature Yang Chi-arguably China's most famous "painted face" actor-among the cast. Yang will appear on the double bill of productions from Thursday to Saturday-The General and the Prime Minister and The Legend of the White Snake. Yang will appear alongside Peking opera stars Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu, who both performed in London last year in The Warrior Women of Yang and Farewell My Concubine. The latest performances are part of the Out of Asia 2 season presented by Sadler's Wells Theatre.
New events for English, Chinese speakers
The London Confucius Institute and the Chinese Department at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies have jointly organized a new series of language exchange events. These are aimed at pairing English and Chinese speakers, so each can learn the other's language. The first Find a Language Partner event is set for Friday in Room 4426 at the university in Russell Square.
Expo to educate students about Irish schools
An event on Saturday aims to enable prospective Chinese students and their families who are considering language schools and learning institutions in Ireland to find out more about what is on offer. The 2016 Irish Education Expo for Chinese Students will be held at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel on Golden Lane, Dublin.
Meanings of decorative motifs explored
A creative workshop about the hidden or symbolic meanings of Chinese decorative motifs will be held on Sunday at Rouge on Stoke Newington High Street, London. Organizers will provide information and materials, including ink, origami paper and pencils.
