| Synopsis |
The Chinese Martial Arts Dance Series is a showcase of dance, martial arts, music and visual arts all in one, in a highly innovative presentation of the traditional and the modern. Liu Suibin from the Qingcheng School was invited as the martial arts master, and Musicians from Shanghai as guest artists. The current production uses the ‘twelve creature forms’ of martial arts as the main line of choreography, and is supplemented by variations of Chinese painting brushstrokes and fundamental moves in taichi. (The twelve creatures are the cock, the Chinese alligator, the monkey, the sparrow hawk, the dragon, the tai bird, the swallow, the horse, the snake, the tiger, the eagle and the bear.) The live music accompaniment brings out the Five Elements - Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. The invisible qi (or ‘air flow’) suggests the invigorating forces of Nature and the close link between all living things, including Man. |
