Opera strikes a chord with kids
*******************************
Apart from giving youngsters an opportunity to play dress-up, the traditional performance art also has educational value.
This belief inspired Cha Duk Chang Children's Cantonese Opera Association to team up with the Hong Kong Association for Specific Learning Disabilities to hold a summer workshop this year for children who struggle in the classroom.
News.gov.hk spoke to a workshop organiser, a Cantonese opera instructor and the mothers of two participants to see how the children benefited from learning the dramatic art.
The story appears on news.gov.hk today (October 1) in text and video format.
