The National Gugak Center (Director Kim Joong-hyun) is recruiting elementary school students for the traditional arts experience education program called "Tintin Changgeuk Classroom" in preparation for the summer vacation. The program is designed to allow children to learn traditional arts directly and stand on stage to cultivate artistic sensibility and expression through Changgeuk (Korean traditional opera) and Pansori (Korean traditional narrative singing).

This year's program is themed around the Pansori "Heungbu," and the education is structured to nurture children's creativity, expression, and cooperative spirit. It will focus on learning Pansori, traditional folk games, Korean traditional children's songs, and preparing for the Changgeuk performance of "Heungbu's Story."

The program is open to students from 1st to 6th grade, with a capacity of 20 students on a first-come, first-served basis. The "Tintin Changgeuk Classroom" will run for a total of 11 days from August 7 to August 22, with classes held at the practice rooms within the National Gugak Center and the Jirisan Theater in Namwon City.

On the last day of the education program, August 23, a graduation performance will be held where the students will showcase their Changgeuk performance.

Student recruitment will take place from 10:00 a.m. on the 21st until 6:00 p.m. on the 23rd through the National Gugak Center's website (namwon.gugak.go.kr), and for more information, inquiries can be made to the Jangakwa at 063-620-2319.
