“De-stress” Your Weekend with the Singing, Dancing, and Painting Workshop Series at HUFLIT

Creativity is always an intriguing topic, allowing us to showcase our knowledge, passion, and exploration. It is also an essential factor in academic work, driving innovation and efficiency in the learning process. The workshop series was attended by ThS. Trần Mỵ Uyên – Vice Dean of the Faculty of Foreign Languages, along with three invited speakers: ThS. Võ Trọng Phúc – Lecturer at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Painter Phạm Minh Hoàng, and Dancer Trần Thảo Ly.

During the workshop, ThS. Trần Mỵ Uyên shared: “The faculty hopes that this workshop series will not only be a place for students to ignite their creative passions but also provide a space to relax and recharge before the new academic year begins.”

The Painting workshop, titled “Illustrating Ideas with Isometric Grid,” was led by Painter Phạm Minh Hoàng (also known as “Người Đá”). A former HUFLIT student, Phạm Minh Hoàng combined his past professional knowledge with his current career as an illustrator to create many impressive works loved by the community. During the workshop, he carefully guided students on how to depict 3D images in a 2D space (Isometric) and the basic techniques to create images using this method.

The “host” of the Singing workshop, “The Color of Sound,” was ThS. Võ Trọng Phúc, a lecturer at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, and also known as a freelance singer with a captivating performance style. Over the course of 90 minutes, he ignited a passion for music in the students by helping them practice vocal techniques like professional singers, while also exploring and discussing the charm of classic songs like “The Sound of Music” and “Edelweiss”.

At the same time, students had a fantastic experience participating in the Dance workshop: “Telling Stories Through Movement.” This workshop provided a wonderful opportunity for those who love body movement to release energy and shine. Under the careful guidance of dancer Trần Thảo Ly, the atmosphere of the workshop became lively and dynamic. Students were guided step-by-step through each movement in a methodical and professional manner, learning not only the techniques but also the grace and fluidity in every gesture

When asked about their feelings after the program, one enthusiastic student shared: “This is a very memorable experience for me because we got a space to relax after the semester. I’m so excited to express what we’ve learned from the teachers and what we’ve shared with our friends”.
