SUMMARY:Bluecoat: Bluecoat: Duets: Poetry and Music with Jennifer Lee Tsai 
 and Xiaoxiao Hou
DESCRIPTION:Sun 23 Jun\, 2pm | Free entry\nJoin us for the second of two pe
 rformances with our artist in residence Jennifer Lee Tsai. Lee Tsai will p
 erform readings of her poetry alongside musician Xiaoxiao Hou. The perform
 ance will take place within Michelle Williams Gamaker’s expansive galler
 y installation\, amongst seating made from shredded scripts and posters.\n
 \nXiaoxiao (筱潇 xiǎo xiāo) will perform playing the Guzheng 古筝 (g
 ǔ zhēng). Also known as a Chinese zither or harp\, the Guzheng is plucke
 d string instrument with a tradition dating back more than 2\,500 years. I
 t is not only an instrument\, but also a piece of art and decoration. It s
 hows a close relationship between painting and calligraphy\, such as carve
 d art\, painting\, shell carving with jade\, and so on. The strings\, once
  made of silk\, are these days almost always made from nylon-coated steel\
 , which increases the instrument's volume as well as changing its timbre. 
 Performers of the Guzheng often wear fingerpicks on one or both hands\, wh
 ich are often made from materials such as ivory\, resin or hard plastic.\n
 \nIn Chinese classical music\, Guzheng were often used to represent things
  as grand as mountains\, but also as delicate as streamlets. Guzheng playe
 rs are always elegant and peaceful\, like they just walked out from one of
  the Chinese paintings. The way to play and demonstrate Guzheng music is c
 onnected very closely to Chinese philosophies as well as other art forms i
 n Chinese culture.\n\nhttps://www.thebluecoat.org.uk/whatson/duets-poetry-
