Dragon Tales

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden

What do culture and tradition mean to you, your family and your community? In this program, students will ponder that question as they learn about the culture and traditions of our Ming Dynasty family home. Then they will discover the stories and folklore surrounding the 2000 year old Dragon Boat festival and its customs that continue to this day.

Many of the ancient practices surrounding the Dragon Boat Festival are to do with avoiding bad luck: the program ends with students creating their own good luck charm.

Combine this program with our Dragon Boat Paddle program, run in partnership with Dragon Boat BC.

Program Description & Details

En garde! Swordplay for the Stage

Academie Duello

Teach your drama program how to stage a safe and exciting sword fighting for your school
theatrical production.

Your students will learn the basics of theatrical swordplay with rapiers or longswords
including stance, movement, attacks, and defences. We’ll also teach the core “safeties” of
stage combat including managing distance, controlling targets, cueing and collaborative
choreography, as well as creating real and safe looking strikes, and reactions.

In a short session we can give you the basic tools of swordplay and in longer sessions we
can help you build choreography and get ready for bringing a lesson from the classroom to
the stage. Let us know your goals so we can shape the session to your group.
