A mini dance trend to the yangge tune 回到山沟沟 (Returning To The Backwoods).

Yangge (秧歌) is northern Chinese popular folk dance. The movements in this video are characteristic of the dance style.

I’ve been stricken with numerous personal life circumstances that have made it difficult to produce solid research pieces as well as answer questions, but I still want to share information.

This type of dance is called Dunhuang and mixes traditional ethnic dancing styles with modern art. The style of the dance itself is influenced heavily by Buddhism. Specific body movements are inspired by fresco paintings found inside the caves of the west China province of Gansu. The dance style owes it’s name to the musical scores found within the city of Dunhuang.

Dunhuang itself used to be a massive center for Buddhist teaching and practices between 500AD-1000AD, being home to several monasteries during that time period. Pilgrims from China, India and Tibet would congregate here leaving behind massive amounts of Buddhist written text and art that would form the strongest body of primary works regarding Buddhist communities in China.

This group here is performing The Thousand Handed Guanyin, and actually happen to be hearing impaired! It’s actually quite mesmerizing to watch.

Happy Lunar New Year!

I have not fallen off the world (or Tumblr), I've just been incredibly busy.

Our Chinese dance academy (CAAM Chinese Dance Theater) had an AMAZING annual show, my favorite in 10 years of supporting (and my 2nd as a dancer). I got to share the stage with my daughter, twice!

Since the show, we have spent lots of evenings in rehearsal and lots of weekends (with a few outliers) doing performances at community Lunar New Year events.

Since I enjoy public speaking (something much younger me HATED), I am often MC at events. I also manage our Facebook and Instagram, so even when I'm not performing I'm either hauling the teen with many more dances than me and recording for Shorts and Reels.

It's busy but so rewarding and so much fun. We'll be at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis tonight, and I'll be at the Landmark Center for the Mosaic Festival tomorrow. I think things will start to calm down then.

I haven't had time to dedicate to Swing From a Star, but I've been mentally plotting the next several chapters, so hopefully you'll see updates on that in the near future.

A little venture into using graphite pencils properly; may eventually put out a longer-than-necessary rant about how much I love this stage production

From what I understand, your advice is that we shouldn't stick to just one version of a story or consider it the true version. And that a story has several versions. And these versions do not make one less than the other. Like, we can choose one version of the story as long as we understand that there are more versions.

Hello!

Yes this is precisely it. It’s very easy to assume that one way a story is told is the only valid version, but it also neglects how it historically was shared and retold - regardless of if deities are involved. Of course people are allowed to express favoritism, myself having moved from Wuhan, I prefer Wuhanese storytelling.

Did you know there’s roughly 360 different types of regional Chinese Opera that coexist? And with such a large variation in a specific area of performing arts, there’s bound to be more variation in nearly anything else.

Myself and the study of Nezha/Nalakubara has led me down many many different rabbit holes into how he was spread across east and southeast Asia. He appears in India, China, Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Tibet, and very likely many other places I have yet to know. It would be very ignorant of me to assume the Chinese Daoist method of worship to be the only acceptable kind - and downright shameful to dismiss how other countries worship him.

It’s a lengthy answer, but I hope I was able to convey my feelings and personal thoughts properly.

Where Have I Been?

For the last few months I kind of over-committed myself with the dance studio.  I’d planned to take two classes (one with each of our amazing teachers), but ended up asked to join a third.  My costumes all turned out to have some nightmare or another (an expected risk when you’re just over 6 feet tall and you’re doing Chinese dance), and I am NOT a seamstress. Yesterday was our big show, and I am basking in the opportunity to back off to just one class for the summer.  I will get to dance with my daughter, who has been dancing roughly 6 years longer than me, and I’m very excited about that.

The other thing that has kept me from being able to really write is also related to that daughter.  She has mad ADHD and her school was not interested in helping her be successful (which is illegal). Between fighting the school, looking for a replacement school that would suit her, and looking for other options to help her develop coping strategies I’ve been pretty drained. We will be doing credit recovery (make up for failed classes) via homeschool this summer, so it won’t be months of freedom.  But we’ve done homeschool before and I’m optimistic.
