Background

Role of Ambassador

Interacting With Local Community

After Hand-In-Hand learning with our student shuochang expert teachers, we planned various venues to promote and exhibit what we have learned. For example, we organized peddling doggerel in the market, storytelling in the library, and street performing in town. Through various shuochang performing venues, we allowed the people of the community to experience the presence of shuochang in our everyday lives.

Besides performing, we also conducted surveys to find out how much people know about shuochang and how much they enjoyed our performance. Some people may even share what they know about shuochang with us, and these are all valuable experiences that we will embrace forever.

Interaction With School Staff and Students

We organized many activities in school for our teachers and schoolmates to enjoy. For example, in our shuochang performance, we adopted many shows and added interactive voting into them to introduce the art of shuochang. During our shuochang tour, we introduced shuochang in plain simple terms to teachers and students through posters and video clips. While doing shuochang with our foreign teachers, they not only experienced this traditional Chinese art of shuochang, but also shared something similar to shuochang from their home countries.

Interacting With Other Shuochang Teams

From watching, joint-performing, to interviewing, we spent time with Taiwan’s two leading shuochang teams, and their passion about shuochang overwhelmed us. They also made us understand the extent of diversity in this art.If we would like to learn shuochang in more depth and breadth, we must be prepared to get our hands dirty and put in more effort.
