China Institute presents:
CONFUCIUS' DISCIPLES
A BEIJING OPERA TOUR OF THE US
Confucius's Disciples is a series of short plays about China's greatest educator, Confucius (551-479 BC), and his three fictional teenage disciples. The allegorical plays deal with issues relevant to a modern audience, while its characters - rendered in stylized forms - are based on the archetypal roles found in traditional Beijing opera. The performance will be in Chinese with English subtitles and features three national first-rank performers: WANG Lijun, ZHAO Qun, and ZHU Yufeng. Thursday, Oct. 27, 7:00 PM, SUNY College of Optometry Schwarz Theatre, 33 West 42nd Street, New York, NY. FREE for China Institute members / $10 non-members. To RSVP online, please click here.

Dear Colleague,
It was great to see so many familiar faces, as well as new faces, at our Friday Night Forum on September 30. Thanks to the teachers who shared their expertise with forum participants, and especially to Professor Zhou Bin for his wonderful insight into teaching calligraphy to American students. Video and photos will be uploaded to the Project DCLT website soon.
