A sense of contemporary arts

In the afternoon of May 8, 2019, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Minh Ngoc, a theatre director and a writer, had a talk about "Contemporary art sensibility" with students of Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU).

During the talk, Theatre Director and Writer Minh Ngoc shared her career as well as her journey to the contemporary art. Graduated with the major in the theatre directing in 1980, she was first known to the public as a playwright (drama and cai luong, a form of modern folk opera in Southern Vietnam) with many famous plays. In addition, she is also one of the 20 typical writers of Ho Chi Minh City voted by Ho Chi Minh Writers' Association. Nearly 40 years of composing, performing, teaching and researching from media arts to contemporary ones, the key thing she has drawn is that in order to touch the hearts of audience, it is really necessary for artists to have an "emotional core" to control their works and performances.

In addition to the interesting sharing about the art, Actress Minh Ngoc also delivered some illustration performances of some typical excerpts in her works.

At the end of the talk, Theatre Director and Writer Minh Ngoc also gave some useful advice to TDTU students such as taking the initiative in creating and mastering your artistic ideas and demonstrating with specific actions.
