18–23 January | 11:00 am – 1:00 pm | Free

Day 1 | Meeting the Dan Role
Grace in motion — silk sleeves, refined makeup, and poetic gestures bring feminine beauty to life on stage.

Day 2 | Discovering the Sheng Role
Elegance meets strength as scholarly poise and heroic power shape the masculine spirit of the Sheng.

Day 3 | Discovering the Chou Role
Humor with depth — quick steps, playful masks, and sharp wit turn comedy into insight.

Day 4 | Discovering the Jing Role
Bold face paint, powerful movement, and vivid colors embody courage, loyalty, and dramatic intensity.

Day 5 | Discovering Costume Beauty
Every costume tells a story — silk, color, and embroidery reveal character without a word.

Day 6 | Discovering the Monkey Performance
Energy unleashed — acrobatics, agility, and mischief bring the Monkey role to life in a joyful finale.

The workshop is open to everyone (yes, it’s free!) and requires no prior experience.

Sessions will be held from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at two venues:

• Le Monnot Theater on January 18, 22, and 23, 2026

• Le Labyrinthe (Gergi Zeidan) on January 19, 20, and 21, 2026

Instruction will be in Chinese with consecutive English translation, making the experience accessible to a wider audience.
