July 11 @ The Port Theater in Nanaimo, BC 7:30pm This stunning production fuses contemporary and veritcal/aerial dance, original music with Chinese traditions, and interactive multimedia projections. The performance is a journey through an imaged video game that crosses over modern day Canada and a magical world of pre-historic China, as described in the ancient book Shan Hai Jing or the Classic of Mountains & Seas. Crossing Mountains & Seas celebrates how the various creatures in Shan Hai Jing had lived in harmony with each other, which is a metaphor of an ideal multi-cultural society that we are seeking today. Within an imaged role-playing video game game, players can interact and collaborate, no matter what their nationality, ethnicity, physical appearance, age, and gender would be. The production also showcases the creative aspects of gaming and the infinite possibilities of video technology. produced by Orchid Ensemble 蘭韻樂團 co-created by Lan Tung 董籃, Julia Taffe, Sammy Chien 簡上翔, and Chengxin Wei 魏成欣 choreography: Julia Taffe & Chengxin Wei 魏成欣 dancers: Alex Tam 谭達文, Thoenn Glover & Cara Siu, Members of Aeriosa Dance music compositions: Lan Tung 董籃 music performance: Orchid Ensemble 蘭韻樂團 Lan Tung 董籃 (erhu 二胡 & vocal) Dailin Hsieh Dailin Hsieh (zheng 箏) Jonathan Bernard (percussion) media arts & lights: Chimerik 似不像 Sammy Chien, Shang-Han Chien, Ivan So, Jonathan Kim (Jono), Andie Lloyd, Jake Kim & Rashi Sethi Safety Director: Colin Zacharias Production Manager: Chengyan Boon Set Design: Khan Lee Costume Design: Chandra Krown Shan Hai Jing characters illustration: Li Tung 董 籬 Double12 Art Gallery Graphic Design: Shang-Han Chien 簡上涵 Publicity: Helen Yagi & Andrew Poon @lan_tung_canada @soar55 @chengxinwei1975 @crimson_coast_dance @creativebcs @o_canadiana #BCartscouncil #canadacouncilofthearts @visculpturestudio #cityofnanaimo #theporttheatrenanaimo @tourismnanaimo #CVIMS @treesmfg @governmentofbc #nanaimodance #vancouverdance #bcdance #verticaldance #aerialdance #aeriosadance #multimedia #vancouverevents #vancouveraerialdance #vancouvercollaboration #dance #contemporarydance #dancersofinstagram #spectacular #theatre #multimedia (at The Port Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzxLcNaBGrx/?igshid=1ha1tixl1k2zk
