DDA’s Rose Oliver was invited to participate in an afternoon enjoying traditional Chinese culture, and take part in an exploration of intercultural exchange, discussing cultural differences and aspects of traditional Chinese philosophies like the Yi Jing and Taiji Quan.
Rose was honoured to be a guest speaker with Professor Li Ding of the Shanghai Yi Jing Association, talking about some of the beliefs that underpin Chinese culture, as well as perceived cultural differences between Western and Chinese culture, which both Professor Li Ding and Rose felt were more like cultural similarities!
With performances on the Gu Zheng or Chinese harp, Han Fu dancers and Taiji, it was a pleasant and relaxing Saturday afternoon, with a chance for the audience to also join in the lighthearted discussion and share in the fun atmosphere.
