Russian lensman to share his love
Moscow-based photographer Igor Burba will join an art talk
tomorrow to interact with a Vietnamese audience and share his experiences in
creative photography.
He will showcase some of his best works, followed by a Q&A
session.
Born in 1985, Burba's interest in photography was inspired by
his father's passion for it. He shot at the "Zenith" and black and
white film. In fact, Burba's first teachers in photography were his parents.
During the time he served in the army, he didn't give up
photography. He began to shoot with his cell phone which had a good camera.
Burba said that he did not see boundaries in photographic
creativity. He can find inspiration from anything he likes, such as night or
day, heat or cold and rain or snow.
Burba nurtured a desire to shoot with a good technique and
developed his own style. He is famous for taking beautiful portraits of young
girls who hide a certain state of mind. With extraordinary expression, he
evokes the girls' inner and outer beauty.

Int’l workshop featuring Bai choi singing to be held
An international workshop featuring
Over 20 reports on the folk singing and world similar arts
will be presented at the event by cultural researchers from
Participants will also hear opinions from leaders and managers
of the nine central coastal provinces, namely Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua
Thien-Hue,
They will focus on the history and culture of the central
coastal localities, the performance art and music, as well as measures to
preserve and promote the values of the Bai Choi singing with a view to
completing a dossier to seek the recognition of the folk singing as a UNESCO
intangible cultural heritage in 2016.
Unique to the central coastal region, Bai choi is often seen
at local spring festivals and resembles a game, using playing cards and
village huts.
The stage for Bai choi performances encompasses nine cottages,
each containing five or six ‘players’. One of the cottages, the central
house, contains a troupe of musicians and instruments. A deck of playing
cards is split in half, with one stack distributed amongst the players, and
the other placed in the central house. The cards are stuck onto bamboo poles
and erected outside the cottages.
The game singer delivers a flag to each cottage, all the while
singing Bai choi, and then draws a card from the central house. Whoever holds
the card closest in value to the game singer’s card wins.
The Bai choi songs are about festivals, daily life and work,
and are accompanied by musical instruments.
The game and songs were developed by Mandarin Dao Duy Tu
(1572-1634) to help locals protect their crops, according to Hoang Chuong,
Director of the Centre for Preservation and Promotion of National Culture.
