The Macau Cultural Centre (CCM), under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents the ARTmusing Summer Workshops, a series of activities reaching out to a diversity of audiences running from July to August.
Challenging kids to take their first steps in the exploration of the mysteries of the arts, CCM conceived a set of workshops aimed at various ages and interests. Families are also invited to join in these shared moments conceived to involve all, while the imagination of the city’s youth shall be taken to the edge through make-up, singing and dance sessions. The artistic melting pot will once again welcome senior friends who may join to prove that artistic reinvention has no age limit.
Children’s Workshops will take kids through an array of different themes, ranging from a set of sessions designed to familiarise them with various instruments, to puppetry theatre and a journey through the secrets of Peking opera.
This year’s Family Workshops will take babies on an interactive stroll that will let them explore and be inspired by soothing sounds and shapes. Parents and their little tots may also join musical and physical sessions carefully devised to stimulate all senses.
The Youth Workshops will introduce teens to a pallet of rhythms from all over the world, providing them with the chance of joining an exciting folk music tour or turning into their favourite characters as they discover tricks and techniques behind make-up for performing arts.
The Senior Friends Workshops provides many with a chance to fulfil their artistic fantasies. Those attending these sessions are invited to explore dancing and singing skills, reinventing themselves through simple, creative methods, transmitted interactively.
This year’s activities include a string of more than 80 intensive workshops, boasting over 230 sessions, happening in July and August. Pre-registration for all upcoming sessions will be open from 18 to 24 May at CCM’s box office, the Macau Ticketing Network website and outlets. Enrolment will take place from May 27 to June 27. – ccmpr
