Someone I know not well enough to voice my opinion on the subject said something like why didn’t God make potatoes a low-calorie food so I am here to say: God made them like that because their nutrition density IS what makes them healthy. By God I mean Andean agricultural technicians. Potato is healthy BECAUSE potato holds calories and vitamins. Do not malign potato
so quite a lot of people expressed interest in a guide to lion dance! and since the lunar new year is coming up in a couple weeks, which means everyone’s exposure to lions is probably going to increase, i figured i’d go ahead and make it! right click + open in new tab to fullview, etc etc, i hope it’s helpful, although if you only take one thing away from this powerpoint, it’s this: lions are not dragons
disclaimer: i learned fut san style at an american university, and the senior members of the troupe were almost all from hong kong and taiwan, so most of my knowledge is drawn from what they taught me. lion dance varies widely depending on the style and the country of origin, and many schools do things differently! this is just an attempt to establish a baseline and give you a really basic intro to one of my favorite art forms. :)
I AM GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE FILLED WITH HOPE FILLED WITH LOVE FILLED WITH THE BELIEF THAT THINGS CAN BE BETTER AND I AM HOLDING THE KNIFE TO THE THROAT OF THE WORLD AND SCREAMING "WE ARE GOING TO EAT WELL AND DO GOOD AND LIVE LIVES WORTH LIVING WHETHER YOU ASKED FOR IT OR NOT"
