It combines music, speech, poetry, mime, acrobatics, stage fighting, vivid face-painting and exquisite costumes. First experiences of Chinese opera can be baffling because its vocabulary of stagecraft is familiar only to the seasoned aficionado. Chinese Opera: The Actor's Craft makes the experience more accessible for everyone. This book uses breath-taking images of Chinese opera in performance by Hong Kong photographer Siu Wang-Ngai to illustrate and explain Chinese opera stage technique. The book explores costumes, gestures, mime, acrobatics, props and stage techniques. Each explanation is accompanied by an example of its use in an opera and is illustrated by in-performance photographs. Chinese Opera: The Actor's Craft provides the reader with a basic grammar for understanding uniquely Chinese solutions to staging drama. 606 $aOperas, Chinese$xHistory and criticism 606 $aActing in opera 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOperas, Chinese$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aActing in opera. 676 $a782.10951 700 $aWang-Ngai$b Siu$01031307 702 $aLovrick$b Peter$f1953- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464758003321 996 $aChinese opera$92448612 997 $aUNINA
