On September 26, the Zhejiang Normal University Art Troupe visited 3 Confucius Classrooms in Edmonton. During their visit, they put on a brief performance for the students and teachers at those schools. Their well honed talents were applauded by their audiences. The Gongfu performance was especially popular and enjoyed by students and teachers. After the performance, many students sought to talk to the performers and have photos taken with them.
This tour was sponsored by Hanban to help celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Confucius Institutes initiative. The visit provided a rare opportunity for our students and teachers to have a better understanding about Chinese culture and also enjoy Chinese traditional performance art.
