首批四家國僑辦“華星藝術團”試點城市  休斯敦入選

國僑辦劉為傑副司長昨出席“文化中國•華星藝術團”掛牌儀式

 

(休士頓/蓋軍)中國國務院僑務辦公室文宣司副司長劉為傑率團於11月19日在休斯敦東方藝術教育中心,與美南藝聯及休斯敦華僑華人文化藝術和藝術教育家代表座談交流,並出席“文化中國•華星藝術團”掛牌儀式。

中央民族歌舞團丁偉團長,國僑辦宣傳司袁春華,深圳華夏藝術團齊嘵艷,休斯敦總領館趙宇敏副總領事,休斯敦總領館房振群僑務組長, 鄧賽英僑務領事,休斯敦總領館楊松文化參贊,中國人活動中心執行長謝忠,東方藝術教育中心校長徐利,東方藝術教育中心董事長陳芹,來自休斯敦藝術界的名人毛欣,蕭楫,辛建,張要武,黃鑫等以及社會各界嘉賓代表參加了當天的座談和掛牌儀式。

國務院僑務辦公室文宣司副司長劉為傑表示:為整合海外僑界優質文化資源、更好地豐富海外僑胞的精神文化生活,國務院僑辦於今年創新提出在海外華僑華人聚居的城市分期分批籌建“文化中國•華星藝術團”以推進中華文化藝術在世界各地的宣傳和推廣。目前已有四家文化社團成為首批國務院僑辦“華星藝術團”試點, 分別是:美東華人社團聯合總會(紐約)、美南中國藝術家聯盟(休斯敦)、韻舞蹈團(多倫多)、澳大利亞華人文化藝術界聯合會(悉尼)。國僑辦將為這些社團提供培訓、交流、觀摩和比賽的機會,邀請其參與或承辦“文化中國”系列訪演等。

休斯敦總領館趙宇敏副總領事在發言中稱:休斯敦能夠在世界範圍內的四個城市中入選,體現了國僑辦對休斯敦僑胞的關心和厚愛,體現出休斯敦的國際地位以及當地華人華僑的影響力正不斷增加,同時,在休斯敦成立華星藝術團,將對於弘揚中華文化、推動中美文化交流與休斯敦和諧僑社建設等產生積極而深遠的影響。

美南中國藝術家聯盟理事長鮑玲代表休斯敦藝術界向國務院僑辦表示感謝,“美南藝聯”成為“華星藝術團”試點,將確保以專業的水平,不辜負國務院僑辦的信任,傳承中華文化,為積極推動中華文化在海外的傳播與交流作出貢獻。

之後,現場舉辦了隆重的“文化中國•華星藝術團”掛牌儀式,劉為傑副司長將印有“華星藝術團”的牌子交給美南中國藝術家聯盟理事長鮑玲,嘉賓合影留念。在當天的美南藝聯及休斯敦華僑華人文化藝術和藝術教育家代表座談交流上,各界代表暢所欲言,共同探討海外藝術發展的方向,更好的豐富海外僑胞的文化生活,促進中華文化和其他國家文化進行交流,並提出了大量建設性的意見。

美南中國藝術家聯盟(Southern America Chinese Artists Alliance)簡稱美南藝聯(SACAA),是由美南地區華裔文化藝術工作者自願組成的非官方的民間藝術團體。從2010年醞釀組建,於2014年3月8日在休斯敦正式成立。現有的理事和會員來自不同藝術領域,包括舞蹈、聲樂、器樂、武術、戲劇、戲曲、書法、舞台舞美等,擁有出色的專業水准和豐富的演出以及活動籌備經驗,並且在當地積累了廣泛的人脈和資源。

聯盟的藝術家長期以來活躍在本地的各項大型文藝活動舞台,參與策劃、組織、實施的大型文化活動,不論在華人社區還是主流社會,都已經積聚了相當的影響力。

著名化妆艺术家毛戈平为OAEC家长学生上一堂精彩的大师课

2014年4月13日下午3点,东方艺术教育中心迎来了一位特殊的客人 - 中国化妆史上的传奇人物、著名形象设计大师、化妆大师毛戈平先生。


作为中国最著名的化妆师,自1984年从事形象设计以来,毛戈平先后为40多部电影、电视和20多名舞台剧进行化妆造型设计,尤其是在《武则天》等剧中创造了一个个美丽形象,而蜚声国内外,著名影星刘晓庆的形象设计就是他的杰作,被誉为创造中国化妆“美丽神话”的“魔术化妆师”。除影视剧的化妆以外,他还广涉时装、生活、广告、等领域的化妆与设计,并取得了卓越的成就。1998年起他先后创办了化妆艺术有限公司、化妆品有限公司、形象设计艺术学校,并创立了以自己名字命名的“MGPIN”化妆品牌。


一直被誉为著名影星刘晓庆的御用化妆师,近年来淡出影视圈、把重心放在自己的化妆品公司上的毛戈平似乎很少给明星化妆了,他只是在给顶级明星化妆。毛戈平此次正是随刘晓庆主演的话剧《风华绝代》剧组来到休斯敦,在十分紧张的日程中,毛戈平先生特别拨冗来到东方艺术教育中心,与广大家长、学生会面,分享他多年的形象设计与化妆心得和体会。本地众多爱美人士十分珍惜这宝贵的机会,专程前来聆听,中心的大厅里人声鼎沸热闹非凡。


毛戈平大师把多年的经验和体会浓缩在短短的一小时里,他既幽默风趣、又朴实无华、既包含技术术语又点缀时尚网络词汇的精彩讲话,以及与观众们的全面互动,让大家时而会心地大笑,时而恍然大悟般“哦”、“啊”连连点头。介绍完基本的原理和准则,接下来就是见证奇迹的时刻。大师亲自从观众中选中一位幸运者,从化妆的第一步打粉底开始边示范边讲解,如何化平淡为神奇,变精致为惊艳。此时的大师,无疑于一位魔法师,只见他用大大小小形状各异的刷子、和幻彩臻炫的颜料,便使这位幸运的年届五十的“模特儿”,在观众们瞪得大大的眼睛中,一点一点,清丽起来、娇嫩起来、明艳起来。每个人都可能成为明星,原来只要有了出色的化妆,这可能立刻成为必然。


“赶快去STUDIO摄影留念。”不少人热心地提议。同时所有人都被大师的技艺征服。正如毛戈平从男人的角度给出的忠告一样:美,是女人的责任。世界上没有丑女人,只有懒女人。别以为素颜才是最美丽的。只在年轻时拥有美丽,是件可怕的事,随着年龄增长,应该要懂得用化妆、修饰自己,保持美丽容颜,这样不仅可以呈现更加亮丽的自己,也会给周围人带来更加愉悦的气氛。


这一堂精彩的大师课,无疑是东方艺术教育中心利用其自身综合办学的优势,为社区提供的又一次难得的文化活动。正如徐利校长在开场白中所说的那样,中心致力于提供艺术与美的熏陶和培养,这不光只针对学生,同时也针对家长。尤其是那些为培养孩子含辛茹苦、风里来雨里去的妈妈们。此次特邀毛戈平大师前来讲座,分享他的美丽心得,正是中心对广大家长、学生的真诚回馈。因为每个人的终点都是一样的,那么过程便很重要,姿态便很重要。东方艺术教育中心将不遗余力为大家的美丽人生做更多实事



著名化妆大师毛戈平将做客东方艺术教育中心

著名化妆大师毛戈平将做客东方艺术教育中心并与大家分享多年心得和体会
2014年4月13日下午3点,东方艺术教育中心将迎来一位特殊的客人 - 中国化妆史上的传奇人物、著名形象设计大师、化妆大师毛戈平先生。
毛戈平也是著名影星刘晓庆的御用化妆师,此次随刘晓庆主演的话剧《风华绝代》剧组来到休斯敦,在十分紧张的日程中,毛戈平先生特别拨冗来到东方艺术教育中心,与广大家长、学生会面,分享他多年的形象设计与化妆心得和体会。这实在是本地所有爱美人士的福音。
作为中国最著名的化妆师,自1984年从事形象设计以来,毛戈平先后为40多部电影、电视和20多名舞台剧进行化妆造型设计,尤其是在《武则天》等剧中创造了一个个美丽形象,而蜚声国内外,著名影星刘晓庆的形象设计就是他的杰作,创造了她“不老的传说”,被誉为创造中国化妆“美丽神话”的“魔术化妆师”。除影视剧的化妆以外,他还广涉时装、生活、广告、等领域的化妆与设计,并取得了卓越的成就。1998年起他先后创办了化妆艺术有限公司、化妆品有限公司、形象设计艺术学校,陆续推出《毛戈平化妆艺术》等化妆专业著作,并创立了以自己名字命名的“MGPIN”化妆品牌。 “审阅美、塑造美、传播美”成为他永远不变的宗旨。通过一系列影响深远的作品,毛戈平不但让人们深刻地领悟了化妆艺术的魅力,更把化妆艺术和化妆师这一职业从幕后推向前台,成了媒体和时尚聚焦的中心,成了全社会街谈巷议的热门话题。毛戈平更因此被赞誉为“形象设计艺术大师”、“化妆巨匠”,无论是在之前,还是之后,中国还从未有哪一位此类“幕后英雄”能拥有如此高的社会知名度和美誉度。
东方艺术教育中心致力于提供艺术与美的熏陶和培养,此次特邀毛戈平大师前来讲座,是我们对广大家长、学生的真诚回馈,也欢迎所有热爱美、热爱艺术的朋友们不要错过这难得的机会。
讲座时间:2014年4月13日(星期日)下午 3 – 5 点。地点:10600 Richmond Rd., Houston 东方艺术教育中心大厅。免费入场,座位有限,先到先得。
