Ordained by Heaven

Super late updates as usual... finally I am uploading behind the scene production photos from November. "Ordained by Heaven" It was a performance that I joined by Not So Loud theatre company. I played a role of female general and second wife of Mr. Missing Something (clown-protagonist). It was an adaptation of Beijing Opera by Li Yu. How often do I get a chance to say I performed in a story from Qing dynasties! (1610-1680) Directed by Tom Hope and translated in English by Martin Merz, the story was presented with Jerry Springer style narration! It was a great experience to learn a little bit more about Beijing Opera from Ghaffar Pourazar who came to Hong Kong for this production. Ghaffar's workshop truly inspired me as a performer. His devotion and passion for Beijing Opera was so deep and it was amazing to hear his story of how he learned Beijing Opera being Iranian-British. ( www.beijingopera.info)I also helped them painting our original masks for the performance. I was a fun comedy performance where I made many great friends! Musicians: You guys were so awesome!!!
