Behind..The Chinese Opera

Make Up #2

Behind..The Chinese Opera

In November of every year The Chinese Opera will come to open the showing near my home. I would like to pratice taken with low lighting and see Chinese opera team behind the stage operate everything for showing.

15 November 2005 I went to the stage and ask for pemmission with Owner of chinese opera. He allowed me to capture for his preparation to show and his team too. Behind the stage is small-minded and low light then cause to difficult capture. But I am tried to capture this image set.

Every Actors busy to make up their face and dressing. But everybody go along giving me to taken thier work.

In one year the chinese opera have the tour showing 4 months in november-febuary only. The actors and stuff recived income a little. The profits for leader actors about 30 us. dollars/1 person for one round (one night). Support actors recived 10-13 us dollars/1 preson which a little. But all actors is pround of the showing. They showed with their heart of actors.

I thankful for permission of owner and all actors chinese opera make me get taken their performance , their life in order that give everybody see their life pass my camera.

Thank you everybody.

excuse me for my english but I'm tired to be better in next time.
