Mer and I attended the dress rehearsal 2/6 for the Chinese Cultural Center’s performance, which will be held 2/14. The dress rehearsal was sparsely attended – the ‘real’ day will be jam-packed. The performances consist of routines executed by different combinations of Center members in a variety of silk outfits. These routines are somewhere between martial arts exercises and dances and involve swords, fans, ribbons, flags, and empty hands. All to the accompaniment of the drum group, which includes our yoga teacher and friend, Gail Rubin. My favorite performers included Tiffany Lin and the Monkey King.
