Eight Strokes & The Moving Word is now playing at Chen Dance Center January 7 - February 26, 2010. All shows are at 10:30am, except Feb 26h at 11am. The Company’s educational programming provides an innovative cultural immersion experience for audiences of all ages; an experience that goes beyond performance. In the unique environment of the theater, audiences will discover new methods of expression and will leave with a renewed enthusiasm for learning that they can take back to their day-to-day lives. Drawing from the company’s rich cultural heritage and dynamic repertory, our dance-based educational show focuses on themes of demystification; revealing the history of Asians in America, through dance and calligraphy. With award-winning works by H.T. Chen, vibrant video projections, and an interactive lecture/demonstration format, audiences are led to see the stories and meaning behind the words and dances.
In some cases, there are tickets available for the general public to attend these exceptional educational performances. Please call Chen Dance Center at 212.349.0126 or email for more information on tickets to one of these engaging shows.
