Tips for the Workshops

The program this year is designed in "blocks". One "block" consists of two lessons with a 15 min. interval in between. The interval between blocks is of 30 min. The two lessons of the block are of the same level with the same masters and at the same studio. Although the topics within the block are not necessarily related, neither is it compulsory to book for both lessons, we encourage participants to register in blocks since that will greatly reduce travel time between studios and make your festival experience the most effective and pleasant. For example, you can take one block per day - that would be 3 hrs. and 15 min. including the interval. Then you can make full use of the spare time each day to enjoy the marvelous Taiwanese cuisine, the massages, museums, cafes, shopping, or get yourself some more sleep.

Note: The intervals on Friday 18th will be 10 min., 20 min., and 10 min. between the lessons.
