SUMMARY:CARDSTOCK
DESCRIPTION:CARDSTOCK\n— Two women. One story. A thousand folds between them.\nMae is an online erotica writer at the peak of her fame. Lily is a reader who once found safety between the lines—until the fiction changed. When Mae is detained for reposting an anonymous testimony of sexual assault\, she insists it was fiction— or someone else’s truth. But the platform’s algorithms\, the police’s questions\, and a reader’s voice begin to fold into one. \nCARDSTOCK unfolds a sharp\, lyrical investigation into authorship\, fantasy\, consent\, and the unintended weight of being heard. \nPressed. Wrinkled. Folded. But standing. \nhttps://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/cardstock

SUMMARY:Bai Stick Dance Workshop: Ba Wang Bian Movement
DESCRIPTION:Discover the rhythm and storytelling of the Bai people’s traditional stick dance — Ba Wang Bian (霸王鞭). This high-spirited folk dance blends percussion\, martial rhythm\, and symbolic movement using long bamboo sticks. Originally rooted in celebration and ritual\, it expresses strength\, joy\, and community spirit. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll learn the basic steps\, stick techniques\, and symbolic gestures of Ba Wang Bian. Taught by a local Bai dance practitioner\, the session offers a lively introduction to Bai culture through movement\, rhythm\, and connection. \nDon’t worry if you’re new to dance — this workshop is about joyful movement\, cultural exploration\, and learning through the body. Perfect for: All levels — especially those curious about traditional performing arts \nYou’ll learn: Basic Ba Wang Bian footwork\, stick rhythms\, and expressive group movement. Comfortable clothes and shoes recommended. Sticks provided on site \n\n\n\nGuest/Speaker Profile: \nYI CRAFTS is an east Asian handcrafts studio based in northwestern London founded in 2019. Its focus is on the beautiful but vanishing traditional handcrafts and cuisine of China’s minority ethnicities. Intercultural sharing is constant and often unconscious throughout our daily lives\, and hand crafts are the physical embodiment of culture and cultural sharing. Founder Yiran is a member of Bai ethnic minority\, and she has experienced the great diversity within the UK and London\, but I have found that the diverse cultures of China’s numerous ethnic minorities are underrepresented\, with ‘China’ viewed as a single cultural source. The opportunity to introduce and share the unique and sometimes surprising customs\, traditions and practices of her home province inspires her. It provides the chance to understand both commonalities and differences in culture\, and to understand our shared history. \nSocial Media and Contact: @yicraftslondon \nAbout Chinese Culture Week \nChinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists\, creators\, educators\, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe. First launched in 2024\, CCW is designed not just as a showcase\, but as a platform for meaningful cultural dialogue between China and the rest of the world. Through theatre\, exhibitions\, workshops\, and live performances\, CCW offers a rare opportunity to experience Chinese culture not as a monolith\, but as a dynamic\, evolving conversation. \nCCW is curated and produced by the Intercultural Connections Initiative (ICI)\, a Scotland-registered community interest company dedicated to fostering cultural exchange through the performing arts. ICI is led by a young and international team of cultural producers\, educators\, and creative strategists\, with roots in both East and West. Together\, they bring a fresh perspective to global cultural engagement—one grounded in empathy\, innovation\, and long-term partnership. \nBy purchasing the ticket\, you agree to the Ticket Purchase Policy

SUMMARY:Write Your Power: Create Your Totem

DESCRIPTION:欢迎来到一场跨越文化的创意之旅！
 在这个工作坊中，我们将结合中国书法的流动之美与西方神秘符号的象征语言，探索不同文化中“符号”如何承载力量、意义与精神性。\n你将学习道符的基础结构，体验毛笔书写的节奏与韵律，同时了解西方古老符号背后的故事，如炼金术符号、卢恩字母与护身图腾等。在引导与自由创作之间，你将逐步提炼出属于自己的个人符号。\n最终，每位参与者将把这份“内在图腾”绘制在具有东方质感的宣纸上，并装裱成一幅独一无二的画作，成为你与世界对话的象征，亦是一份可被珍藏的精神礼物。 \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore the flowing energy of Chinese calligraphy together with the hidden language of Western mystical symbols.\nInspired by ancient Daoist talismans and your own inner symbols\, you’ll learn to combine traditional brush techniques with visual storytelling from both Eastern and Western cultures — from alchemy signs and runes to protective marks and intuitive strokes.\nBy the end of the session\, you’ll create your own unique totem artwork\, blending personal meaning with cross-cultural wisdom. Each piece will be painted on beautifully textured Chinese xuan paper and carefully framed — a powerful piece to take home and cherish.\nCome with curiosity. Leave with a symbol of your spirit. \n嘉宾/主讲人简介：MO 是一个由两位来自 UAL（伦敦艺术大学）背景的艺术家共同创办的创意团队，活跃于伦敦。她们擅长将中国文化中的诗意传统融入当代设计语言，探索手作与情感、身体之间的细腻连接。
她们相信，“做”是一种思考，也是一种温柔的表达方式。每一次创作，都是一次回望内在、整理情绪的过程，让文化的笔触在当下生活中重新被感知与佩戴。 \nAbout the Artists: \nMO is a creative duo founded by two artists from the University of the Arts London. Based in London\, they love bringing the quiet beauty of Chinese traditions into modern design—finding gentle ways to connect making with feeling\, and hands with the body.
They believe making isn’t just about creating things—it’s a way of thinking\, and sometimes\, a soft way of speaking. Each piece they create is a chance to pause\, look inward\, and make sense of emotions. For them\, culture isn’t something distant—it’s something you can feel\, wear\, and carry with you in everyday life. \nIG:MO_hand_mindopen\nRED 小红书：MO墨\nEmail: suziga.10000@outlook.com \n\n\n\nAbout Chinese Culture Week \nChinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists\, creators\, educators\, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Wear Your Power as a Necklace

DESCRIPTION:在这个工作坊中，我们将结合中国书法中的吉祥文字与西方文化中的图腾符号，共同创作一条独一无二的护符项链。你将用毛笔写下一个与你此刻内在状态相呼应的汉字，可能是“喜”、“静”或“安”；同时也将绘制一个象征能量的图形，如象征生命的安卡、守护之眼，或是你亲自构思的意象符号。这些图形与文字将分别转化为热缩片上的墨迹和黄铜片上的浅刻图案，成为你个人意愿与感受的具象表达。\n在形与意的交织中，你将亲手完成一条佩戴型的护符项链。每一笔书写、每一下敲刻，都是你与自我对话的过程。最终，当你戴上它，它不仅是一件饰品，更是一种凝聚心意的回应与守护。这将是一段从心愿出发、以手作收尾的旅程，也是一次让文化、身体与情感产生连结的温柔仪式。 \nIn this workshop\, we’ll combine lucky Chinese calligraphy with powerful symbols from Western cultures to create a one-of-a-kind talisman necklace. You’ll start by using a brush to write a Chinese character that reflects your current inner state—maybe “Joy\,” “Calm\,” or “Peace.” At the same time\, you’ll draw a symbol of energy and protection\, like the Ankh for life\, an eye for awareness\, or an image from your own imagination. These elements will be turned into ink marks on shrink plastic and soft engravings on brass\, giving form to your personal wishes and feelings.\nThrough this mix of shape and meaning\, you’ll make a wearable talisman with your own hands. Every stroke and every tap of the tool will be a small conversation with yourself. And when you wear the finished piece\, it will be more than jewelry—it will be a quiet response to what you need\, and a gentle way to carry your intention with you. This is a journey that begins with a wish and ends with something you can hold close. \n嘉宾/主讲人简介：MO 是一个由两位来自 UAL（伦敦艺术大学）背景的艺术家共同创办的创意团队，活跃于伦敦。她们擅长将中国文化中的诗意传统融入当代设计语言，探索手作与情感、身体之间的细腻连接。

她们相信，“做”是一种思考，也是一种温柔的表达方式。每一次创作，都是一次回望内在、整理情绪的过程，让文化的笔触在当下生活中重新被感知与佩戴。 \nAbout the Artists: \nMO is a creative duo founded by two artists from the University of the Arts London. Based in London\, they love bringing the quiet beauty of Chinese traditions into modern design—finding gentle ways to connect making with feeling\, and hands with the body.
They believe making isn’t just about creating things—it’s a way of thinking\, and sometimes\, a soft way of speaking. Each piece they create is a chance to pause\, look inward\, and make sense of emotions. For them\, culture isn’t something distant—it’s something you can feel\, wear\, and carry with you in everyday life. \nIG:MO_hand_mindopen\nRED 小红书：MO墨\nEmail: suziga.10000@outlook.com \n\n\n\nAbout Chinese Culture Week \nChinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists\, creators\, educators\, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe.

SUMMARY:Chinese Bamboo basket weaving workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bamboo\, a symbol of strength and grace in Chinese culture\, is one of the most sustainable and versatile natural materials. In this workshop\, you’ll learn traditional bamboo weaving techniques from a local artisan\, using your hands to create rhythm\, form\, and function. \nYou’ll discover how to prepare bamboo strips\, understand the aesthetics of interlaced weaving\, and craft your own small fruit basket. As you weave\, you’ll also experience the meditative\, grounding rhythm of this timeless craft. \nGuest/Speaker Profile: \nYI CRAFTS is an east Asian handcrafts studio based in northwestern London founded in 2019. Its focus is on the beautiful but vanishing traditional handcrafts and cuisine of China’s minority ethnicities. Intercultural sharing is constant and often unconscious throughout our daily lives\, and hand crafts are the physical embodiment of culture and cultural sharing. Founder Yiran is a member of Bai ethnic minority\, and she has experienced the great diversity within the UK and London\, but I have found that the diverse cultures of China’s numerous ethnic minorities are underrepresented\, with ‘China’ viewed as a single cultural source. The opportunity to introduce and share the unique and sometimes surprising customs\, traditions and practices of her home province inspires her. It provides the chance to understand both commonalities and differences in culture\, and to understand our shared history. \nSocial Media and Contact: @yicraftslondon \nAbout Chinese Culture Week \nChinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists\, creators\, educators\, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe.

SUMMARY:Here Comes Gudong
DESCRIPTION:About the show: \nHere Comes Gudong\nA Myth-Shattering Family Adventure  \nHot off its 2025 Keep It Fringe award\, Roarrr Theatre debuts its fantastical\, cross-cultural adventure Here Comes Gudong! for children aged 4–12\, and curious grown-ups too. You are invited to join an eccentric crew of mythic animal explorers——as they follow the curious “Gudong!” rumble across lands and legends. What they discover is as surprising as it is delightful. \nThis is not your average children’s show. Featuring live puppetry\, real-time video\, and an electrifying mash-up of Chinese and British folklore\, Here Comes Gudong! creates a vivid theatrical world where cultural boundaries joyfully collide. “We wanted to make a show where East meets West in the most unexpected ways\,” says Portia Yuran Li\, writer and director of Roarrr Theatre. “Think Suzhou silk tangling with Scottish bagpipes. Bronze chimes clashing with Victorian gears. Jingwei myths meets Loch Ness Monster. It’s myth-meets-machinery mayhem!” \nHere Comes Gudong! champions eco-conscious artistry. The set features an expandable forest crafted from biodegradable\, traditionally inspired Chinese materials. Production and Set designer Effie Yuan Gu constructs dynamic environments from repurposed industrial materials\, while puppet designer Jessica Wenjing Ji shapes communicative puppets using salvaged resources.

SUMMARY:Tango in Silk
DESCRIPTION:Tango in Silk is an evocative original ballroom duet by acclaimed Chinese dancer and choreographer Xi Liu\, premiering at Camden Fringe and Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer. A deeply personal exploration of identity\, migration\, and transformation\, the piece fuses the sharp sensuality of Argentine tango with the lyrical elegance of 1930s Shanghai aesthetics. \nSet to a dynamic\, emotionally textured soundtrack\, Tango in Silk follows the journey of an East Asian woman newly arrived in the UK. Her dance begins with quiet uncertainty — hesitant gestures\, reserved steps — and gradually builds into confident\, grounded movement. The choreography embodies moments of cultural friction\, resistance\, and ultimately\, empowerment. In a striking finale\, the character’s physicality fuses the bold rhythm of tango with the softness and dignity of traditional Chinese grace\, symbolized by her dramatic qipao (cheongsam) costume. \nPerformed by Xi Liu\, the piece is both visually arresting and emotionally layered\, offering audiences a poetic narrative of belonging and becoming. Each attendee will also receive a small gift — a traditional Chinese fan — as a gesture of cultural appreciation and connection. \nPhoto Credit: Wan & Kelly Lin\nPoster Designer: Qiqi Zhang \nhttps://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/tango-in-silk

SUMMARY:Invisible Space
DESCRIPTION:About the show \nInvisible Space is an immersive headphone theatre experience using silent disco technology\, adapted from the classic Chinese mythological tale The Legend of the White Snake. This timeless story follows Bai Suzhen\, a snake spirit who reincarnates across lifetimes in search of her lost love\, Xu Xian. \nBlending ancient mythology with innovative theatrical forms\, Awful Shoes Collective creates an audience-engaging performance where spectators are not just passive viewers but active participants in the unfolding experience. Seated in a yin-yang-inspired circular formation around the performer\, they wear wireless headphones that immerse them in a rich soundscape of voices\, music\, and movement. This setup fosters a deep sense of connection\, as spectators become part of the theatrical ritual\, influencing its rhythm and atmosphere through their presence and reactions. \nIt’s an unprecedented space in which you will be connected with people you know or might meet for the first time. In this intimate and interactive environment\, relationships are redefined\, and mythology is brought to life through collective experience. \nShow Date: 2\,3\,8\,9 August 2025 at 11:40 \nVenue: Just the Tonic at the Caves \nhttps://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/invisible-space \nAbout the Company \nAwful Shoes Collective is an independent experimental theatre company founded in 2024\, based in both London and China. Created by Asian artists from diverse backgrounds—including theatre\, fine art\, design\, and scenography—we celebrate diversity and are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of storytelling beyond text. Our work explores sensory\, physical\, and immersive experiences\, inviting audiences to become active participants in the creative process. \nOur headphone theatre performance Invisible Space premiered as a work-in-progress at Theatre Deli’s Shift+Space\, a unique program where artists present their work\, integrate audience feedback within 24 hours\, and perform an evolved version the following evening. Later\, the piece was showcased at The 2nd Shanghai International Urban Xinzhuang Fringeville\, where it was honoured with the Best Experimental Theatre Award. \nThrough our work\, we continue to experiment with innovative ways of engaging audiences\, blurring the lines between performer and spectator\, and creating theatre that is dynamic\, interactive\, and ever-evolving.

SUMMARY:Traditional Kesi Weaving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:缂丝 （Kesi）是中国古代最精细的 丝织工艺之一，以”通经断 纬”技法闻名。传统 缂丝使用 桑蚕丝线，细如 发丝（仅0.1-0.2毫米 ），需手工逐纬编织。因工艺极耗工时，古代一件龙袍料常需数名匠人耗时1-2年完成， 故有”一寸缂丝一寸金”之说。本次体验课设计为制作8-10cm的杯垫，初学者可在 2小时内完成基础纹样，既感受古法精髓，又收获实用作品。 \nKesi (缂丝) is one of the most intricate and refined silk weaving techniques in ancient China\, renowned for its unique method of “continuous warp and discontinuous weft.” Traditionally made with mulberry silk threads as fine as human hair (only 0.1–0.2 mm thick)\, Kesi textiles are woven entirely by hand\, one weft thread at a time. \nDue to its extreme time-consuming nature\, a single piece of Kesi—such as the fabric for an imperial dragon robe—could take a team of artisans one to two years to complete. This craftsmanship was so precious that people once said: “An inch of Kesi is worth an inch of gold.” \nYour Hands-On Journey \nIn this immersive workshop\, beginners will create a 8-10cm coaster featuring traditional motifs\, guided by simplified ancient methods. Within 2 hours\, you’ll:\n✓ Master basic Kesi weaving rhythms\n✓ Explore symbolic patterns from Chinese textiles\n✓ Craft a functional artwork with silk threads\n✓ Uncover the philosophy behind “slow craftsmanship” \nThe workshop will be led by Edinburgh local artist Ye Yao. \n\n\n\nAbout Chinese Culture Week \nChinese Culture Week is an intercultural initiative that brings Chinese artists\, creators\, educators\, and performers to one of the world’s largest arts festivals—the Edinburgh Fringe.

SUMMARY:Qishan (Lacquer fan) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:1. 准备水面：在一个宽大的浅盘或水槽中注入清水。水面需要保持平静，以便颜料能够均匀地漂浮。\n2. 加入颜料：将颜料滴入水面，颜料会在水面上自然扩散。颜料可以是各种颜色的漆料或染料，根据设计的需要进行调配。\n3. 调整颜料形态：通过用工具（如刷子、竹签等）轻轻搅拌或拍打水面，调整颜料的形态，创造出特定的图案或效果。\n4. 浸泡扇子：当颜料在水面上形成理想的图案时，将事先准备好的漆扇轻轻放入水中。漆扇快速沉入水面，颜料会附着在扇面上，形成独特的色彩纹理。\n5. 取出晾干：扇子被浸泡在水中后，迅速取出并轻轻晾干，水中的颜料会在扇面上留下图案。 \n1. Prepare the water surface: Pour clean water into a wide shallow dish or sink. The water surface needs to be calm so that the pigment can float evenly.\n2. Add pigment: Drop the pigment into the water surface\, and the pigment will naturally spread on the water surface. The pigment can be paint or dye of various colors\, which are mixed according to the needs of the design.\n3. Adjust the pigment form: By gently stirring or patting the water surface with tools (such as brushes\, bamboo sticks\, etc.)\, adjust the pigment form to create a specific pattern or effect.\n4. Soak the fan: When the pigment forms an ideal pattern on the water surface\, gently put the prepared lacquer fan into the water. The lacquer fan quickly sinks into the water\, and the pigment will adhere to the fan surface\, forming a unique color texture.\n5. Take out and dry: After the fan is soaked in water\, take it out quickly and gently dry it. The pigment in the water will leave a pattern on the fan surface. \n\n\n\n·Zoey Filigree 是一家位于伦敦中心的非遗珠宝工作室，致力于将传统的中国工艺在海外的传播，用workshop的方式拉近手工与社群的距离\n·邹雪雯女士 （ Zoey） 珠宝设计师 花丝镶嵌非遗传承人，ZoeyFiligree的品牌创始人。长期致力于中国传统珠宝工艺宣传保护，将近乎失传的非遗工艺重新带到海外。 拥有个人名下高级珠宝工作室及教学工坊，个人开发并亲自教授工艺课程百余场，累计已培训数百名专业及非专业人士。作品曾在伦敦设计周 米兰珠宝节 等平台进行展出， 个人也曾受《中国女性》《人民日报》《China Daliy》等官媒采访。 \nAbout the Artist: Zoey Zou (邹雪雯)\nZoey is the founder of Zoey Filigree\, a heritage jewellery studio ba Save sed in central London.

SUMMARY:Bond - Age
DESCRIPTION:About the show: \nStarting from the idea of bondage as a metaphor\, the piece of physical theatre ‘Bond·Age’ explores pain and pleasure\, bonds and restrictions in relationships\, not only between lovers\, but also between family members\, between an individual and his/her home country or the society\, between one and his/her self or gender role\, etc. Are we tied down to/by anything or anyone? Would it be better to be tied down\, or to be completely free? “We are bound to play”\, characterized by multi-genre dance and original music\, the play is bound to be sensuous\, symbolic and experimental.  \n这是一部以BDSM为主题的肢体剧，所有道具都从成人用品店采购，我剥离了它们原本的功能，让想象力信马由缰。BDSM在剧中是个人与恋人、家人、自我、传统以及与社会、国族之间关系的隐喻。这部剧是我写给生命中所有难以割舍却又不得不挣脱的一切的情书。 \nDate and Time: August 1-8\, 20:50-21:30 \nAbout the Team: ZHU Wenjun\,  Stephan Fraser \nhttps://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/bond-age
