In the year 2013 the Great Venerable Master Hsin Yun urged Nan Hua temple to start an art-performing group.
The group was established in the year 2014,with the help of Venerable Master Hui Fang. The aim of this group is to give young single healthy girls who have finished Matric an opportunity to learn Chinese and African arts.
During their first year, they will start with African Traditional dance and learn how to play indigenous instruments and music theory. Also getting a chance to do computer literacy and the Chinese language. In their second year, they will then start with Chinese Arts, which includes Dragon Dance, Chinese Drum, Chinese Dance( Folk and Modern). And in their third year they will get to gain other skills and perfect their ability combining African and Chinese Arts together. Every year, the girls will have an opportunity to travel to different countries around the world, performing and training. Not only do you learn on how to perform, but you also learn life skills and leadership skills. You'll be able to gain confidence and getting used to how to work with other people. This is a stepping stone for getting into the arts field and achieving your dreams as a performer.
We hope that through multi-cultural engagement we can empower young black South African girls to enter the performing arts arena.
