Fei Tian: This dance conveys music and dance through exciting choreography and musical performance from the city of Dunhuang in north-west China.
Chinese Umbrella Dance: The umbrella symbolizes honor and wealth.This is traditionally a dance for the people of China's Dai ethnic minority during festivals.
Peacock Dance: Chinese art is often inspired by elements in nature. This dance is a modern choreographic work based on birdlike movements and the native dance movements of the Dai nationality tribe in southern China's Yunnan Province.
Ribbon Dance: Originally performed only for royalty, dancers now perform it at most Chinese cultural events, festivals, and to usher in a New Year. Will perform demo with audience as well.
Paper-cut is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste golden and silver foil cuttings onto their hair and men used them in sacred rituals. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years' development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration. Paper cutting stands out for its charm - exacting lines and ingenious patterns which are all hand-made, with three-dimensional scenes that visually pop! Roosevelt Field guests will have an opportunity to make their own flower, animal, or Buddha piece of artwork. |
