The Jockey Club Learning Chinese Culture through Arts Tech Theatre Programme 2.0

Big Adventures With Brush and Ink

Premiere Won Seven International Awards — Returning This Summer
Suitable for all temperaments Engaging the Body and the Mind— A Complete Creative
Arts Tech Experience for Children
A Calligraphy Adventure Beyond the Imagination

 

After The Monkey King: Havoc In Calligraphy Metaverse won seven international honours in 2024, another headline event returns this August. Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and presented by Zuni Icosahedron as part of the Jockey Club Learning Chinese Culture through Arts Tech Theatre Programme 2.0, The Children’s Creative Arts Tech Camp, Big Adventures With Brush and Ink, returns to Yuen Long Theatre with upgraded content, leading children and adults into a new-generation arts-tech calligraphy world that sparks imagination and activates the senses!

  • Millenia of Ink Wash Reimagined for Today

    +-

    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.

  • Playing with Brush and Ink — Beginning a Cultural Exploration

    +-

    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.

  • Reviews and Testiomonies

    +-

    “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
