Have you ever been curious about the many props in a Chinese opera? ????Or wondered what all the colors on the characters’ masks mean? In this week’s MOCACREATE at Home, we’re continuing our explorations of the vibrant world ???? of Cantonese opera. This time, we’ll be learning about the props actors use and their distinctive makeup. Then, we’ll be making our own opera masks ???? with materials from home! What personality traits will your character have? ????
