In traditional Vietnamese culture, “Ông đồ” (calligraphy masters), “Tò he” (rice dough figurine artisans), and other similar figures hold great cultural value and are indispensable during festivals and traditional Lunar New Year celebrations of the Vietnamese people. As a result, services providing calligraphy masters, tò he artisans, balloon artists, and stilt walkers are always enthusiastically supported during the days leading up to Tết (Lunar New Year).
With the desire to preserve traditional cultural elements and bring quality programs/events to customers, SaigonDance Center offers services for renting event organization personnel, including:
Calligraphy Master Rental Service: Calligraphy Writing Service
The image of the Vietnamese calligraphy master (ông đồ) is often associated with the intellectual beauty and character of individuals who are widely learned, deeply understanding, and have a simple, elegant lifestyle.
Requesting calligraphy during Tết (Lunar New Year) is a sacred tradition. Depending on the wishes of the person requesting the calligraphy, they will ask the calligraphy master (ông đồ) for characters that represent their deepest desires. Those seeking wealth and prosperity will request the characters for “tài” (talent) or “lộc” (prosperity), those wishing for children will ask for the character “phúc” (blessing/happiness), while those praying for health and longevity will request the character “thọ” (longevity)…
Nowadays, in some cultural events and holiday celebrations, calligraphy masters (ông đồ) are not only represented by older individuals but also by young men in their twenties. This is seen as a way of continuing the beautiful traditional culture of our ancestors.
Tò He Artisan Provision Service: Renting Tò He Artisans
Tò he figurine making is a form of folk art that strongly embodies national character and is closely associated with the childhood of children in the Northern and Southern regions of Vietnam.
In the past, tò he figurines were products made from dough used for ritual offerings, so they often took the shape of animals such as pigs, chickens, buffaloes, cows, fish, and so on. However, today, tò he are created by many artisans with more diverse and creative forms, typically including popular cartoon characters that children love: Doraemon, Sun Wukong (Monkey King), princesses, mermaids, flowers, and more.
Tò he artisans must be people who love children, love their craft, and have a long family tradition in the profession. They should have the ability to create many shapes that customers request.
Stilt Walking Performance Service, Stilt Walker Artist Rental
Stilt walking artisans walk on sticks of varying sizes, ranging from 1 meter to a maximum of 4.11 meters. These sticks can weigh up to 12 kg and are only for the most experienced members, requiring many years of practice.
To move safely on stilts, the artist must continuously keep moving. The path must also be cleared thoroughly, as even a small brick can cause an accident.
