HCAS Art & Design Field Trip

-
Hello, this is Ms. Joanna, the art teacher at HCAS. Welcome to this blog!

I'd love to give you a little bit background of this trip before we head into the exciting journey. This field trip is initated by the Art & Design Club students who are interested to explore more about arts in a different cultural background. They have proactively planned and organized the whole schedule and it's my pleasure to be invited to host this trip.

Utilizing the Thanksgiving break, we wanted to find a nearby location and since many students have been to Japan, we decided to explore Korea this time.

During the 5 days trip, students will visit various artistic venues and iconic architecture. Since some students are taking dance classes, they also invited our dance teacher Ms. Sabung to join us, who will guide us through the shows we watch and lead a dance activity towards the end of  the trip. Mr. Ma at the math department is also invited to be the male champerone since he teaches all the students and knows them well.

We are very excited as this is the first oversea field trip for HCAS students this year. We will learn about the different culture but at the same time, have TONS of fun!

Please stay tuned to this blog as updates will be posted everyday.

11/24 (Sat.) Cirque Du Soleil - KOOZA

KOOZA is a return to the origins of  Cirque du Soleil : It combines two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor. KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world.  The Innocent's journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster and the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog. Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA explores themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement. -------------------------------------------------------- The Cirque Du Soleil show is the most important activity of this trip and students were all ...
