Chinese Culture Club (Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration)

This is an opportunity for anyone interested in Chinese culture, both traditional and contemporary to meet up and build a community together. We will explore wide and far, from language learning games using theatre-inspired exercises, singing, qigong-inspired meditation, storytelling, through to chats around various aspects of Chinese culture.

Both families and individuals are very welcome, but parents/carers need to stay with their children (recommended age: 6+) during the session. The session will mostly be conducted in English.

On 27 Sept, we will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will teach a Chinese folk song, some simple Chinese phrases for the festival, and facilitate conversations (or drawing activities for younger participants) around our cultural roots.

About me: I’m Sheryl, a Tai Chi instructor, art translator and aspiring writer of human story. A winner of the European Cultural Foundation 2024 The Europe Challenge Writing Competition, a CIMSPA (Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity) qualified Exercise to Music Group Fitness Instructor, Laban Dance Fitness Instructor, Tai Chi Qigong for Wellbeing instructor and a Traditional Chinese Works of Art translation specialist, I was born and raised in Hong Kong, went to university (UMich Ann Arbor) in America and moved to the UK 1.5 decades ago. Today I raise a mixed-race family in London with my British husband, and we enjoy cultural explorations to help us make sense of our cultural identities.

In addition to teaching Tai Chi, I also run storytelling workshops, a weekly singing group/class in Camden and support two families who want their children to learn Chinese and connect with their heritage. So I’m quite excited to re-apply these experiences to set up a Chinese culture club here!
