Led by calligraphy and ink art master Dr. Chui Pui-chee, professional actors and performers, participants of all ages explore calligraphy and ink wash painting through songs, musical rhythm, physical movement, Arts Tech installations, and hands-on writing — experiencing how millennia of Chinese cultural wisdom speaks to contemporary life.

Designed to suit both active and calm temperaments, the programme engages children of every personality. Energetic ones can channel the dynamism of calligraphy and ink into body language and movement through physical expression, rhythm, and spatial exploration; quieter children can connect with the subtlety of brushwork through gentle movement and breathing. Mindfulness elements are incorporated to guide children to focus on the present, nurturing concentration, emotional awareness, and aesthetic sensibility.

This is not a calligraphy class — it is a creative technology adventure bridging tradition and the future. Exploring lines and ink, Children come to command their bodies and technology in the creative process, building confidence and finding their own rhythm. Parents are welcome to join and rediscover the joy of brush and ink.

Every participant receives an exclusive “Play to Learn” kit, containing the four treasures of the study plus a comic book illustrated by renowned cartoonist Lai Tat-wing. A bilingual online learning platform supports continued exploration. Schools and social welfare organisations can also enjoy a complimentary theatre shuttle service, particularly suitable for class activities.

“Immersed in a scene constructed through technology… participants can experience theatre in real time and space, while learning about our traditions.” — China Daily

“It allows traditional Chinese culture to move beyond relics and ancient texts, forging a brand new relationship with contemporary technology.” — Yazhou Zhoukan

“Having taught calligraphy for many years, I rarely think to combine it with rhythm. Using the harmonica to link calligraphy, rhythm, and musicality was truly unique.” — Tam Miu-Ling, Extra curricular Activities Director, Xianggang Putonghua Yanxishe Primary School of Science and Creativity

“At the theatre you usually just sit still, but this time we could move around — perfect for my two boys.” — Mother Shum 

“Really fun, interactive, and great for families — not the least bit boring.” — Mother Tong 

“My favourite part was writing calligraphy — so much fun! Moving around felt refreshing too.” — Young participant Wong
