I got to see a performance, "Highlights of Classic Chinese Theater", yesterday. The performers were a group of students of Beijing Opera, from China. They performed episodes from various plays. The costumes and make-up were fantastic. Some parts reminded me of my own dancing; there's certain movements I do when dancing, which are like theirs. I probably picked up those movements from various things I watched when I was younger.
The last episode was a fight scene between 2 warriors in the dark. The stage was not dark, but the play was based on them not being able to see each other. It was wonderful.
If any of you have the opportunity to watch a performance of Beijing Opera, I highly recommend it.
Next week there is going to be a performance of Chinese folk dancing at the Koger Center. I am thinking of attending that one too.
