Refeel
Program Descriptions:
Literature
The short story is often an overlooked medium. Hard to define, but full of deep truths, the short story is a quick way to enter into another world. Spend some time with the characters, contemplate the imagery, and sharpen your literary tools while you're there! A Refeel literary night is one you won't want to miss.
Dance
Dance is a universal language that can help us to feel our bodies and to
express ourselves. Through movement there is a special opportunity for
anybody to open up and to show one’s true self without any roles. The
rhythms and the dance emerged as ordinary people like us searched for an
expression of creativity, sensation and fun. You don’t need to bring a
partner to attend. Join us to experience the magic of making ordinary
moves extraordinary. There’s no such word as can’t; just let your body
creates in the moment of action!
Food
Refeel food workshop is about a love and curiosity of good food, and a
passion to share it. Food nourishes the senses. Whether a dish looks
gorgeous, smells fresh, feels alive, or tastes awesome, it depends on
the eater’s preference and cultural background. Embark on this tasting
journey together as we discover creative cooking skills, new recipes and
ingredients from different cultures. The workshop is suitable for all
skill levels and all types of eaters.
Calligraphy
Pablo Picasso once said that if he had been born Chinese, he would have
been a calligrapher, not a painter. Chinese calligraphy can be a lively
vehicle for personal expression. Using many different brush strokes, you
can find you own rhythmical motion of lines as simply as using a
one-size brush and black ink on plain paper. Join us to appreciate the
wisdom and beauty of Chinese characters and this traditional culture
through every move of the ink brush. Knowledge of Chinese or brush
technique is not required.
Tea Appreciation
Some tea lovers say a cup of quality tea is like a great song -- it
crosses cultural boundaries. In history, the tea trade was a significant
factor in establishing connections between east and west. From tea
leaves and tea pot to the taste of its richness or smoothness, different
cultures have their own making of tea culture. Come find out more about
this world's most prevalent hot beverage and learn to appreciate the
world of flavour in every cup!
Photography
Photography is the art of seeing. How we perceive a particular photograph depends largely on our own life experiences. Similarly, photographs taken by each of us can reflect our own stories. We will look at how we use images as a way of self-expression.
Music
Music and rhythm is in all of us. A song sometimes reminds you of a particular moment or feelings that you experienced through the ups and downs of life. Come to find your melody and rhythm through this universal language which brought people of all cultures and ages together.
FilmA film can be interpreted or felt in a million different ways by viewers like you. At times the story, a character, or a scene may trigger a memory or emotion which lies deep within us. Let's come together to gather our stories after the projection fades away.
Arts & Crafts
Arts & crafts is a haven to rekindling our imagination, allowing every creative cell to run wild. As we paint a colorful mural, design a logo, hand-make papers or masks, we begin to recognize ourselves in colours, textures, images and shapes. You don’t have to be an artist or a creative person just enjoy the moment with the touch of a paint brush, come join us in this playful creating exploration.
Teambuidling Game
A game can be more than just a game.
Activity games offer us an opportunity
to communicate creatively beyond our words. In the activity games, we learn to listen,
to co-work in teams, and build up friendship in a journey of self-discovery. Forget
about winning or losing, come and discover more about yourself through games!
