Join us for a free one-day workshop for educators at the Japanese American National Museum, hosted by the USC U.S.-China Institute and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. This workshop will include a guided tour of the beloved exhibition Common Ground: The Heart of Community, slated to close permanently in January 2025. Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
Quanzhou Marionette Theater
Music, song and puppetry unite as the talented puppeteers and musicians of the Quanzhou Marionette Theater perform selections from Chinese folk tales.
This concert is part of the Musical Journeys Through China series.
Here is one of China’s great cultural treasures, featuring puppeteers who train for 20 years to master their art. With singing and musical accompaniment, the acrobatic pageantry of the marionettes—some with 20 strings or more—depicts famous Chinese legends and folktales.
