Yesterday, we had some ladies who performed in the Beijing Opera come and speak to us. They performed famous pieces from the Opera, which included singing and dancing. They had trained since they were 12 years old to become performers in the opera. \u00a0When their dreams finally came true, they were four women selected out of 2,000 others. \u00a0Before the class was over, they taught some of us their acting techniques. They pulled me and two other theatre students in front of the class and showed us how to mount a horse in show. This experience has by far been one of my favorites,so who knows maybe I’ll be acting in the Beijing Opera soon. \u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
