This was the second time Meraki Dance Collective was invited to join the crew of the International Youth Arts Festival.
This magnificent 2019 edition was held in various locations throughout Macau. It was an honor for us to be part of the festival once again. A special thanks to Rebecca Yang from Rebecca Art to invite us.
Besides judging the dance contestants, we also provided a masterclass and did a unique improvisation performance with a selection of the other judges.
Watch the snippet below and check out the pictures to gain a taste of the festivities.
MDC Celebrating the 70 year foundation of the New China with a contemporary Cross-Cultural performancehttps://merakidancecollective.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Nanning_70_performance.jpg980489Meraki Dance CollectiveMeraki Dance Collectivehttps://merakidancecollective.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Nanning_70_performance.jpg
Something out of the ordinary but hella fun! Performing with Nanning Contemporary Dance Company (GuGuWu) on one of the biggest stages we’ve both ever performed on!
To celebrate the 70-year foundation of the New China, Meraki Dance Collective was invited to perform together with duo Wu Qian & Zhu Borui.
The performance was on a famous Chinese song which translated means ”Vine and Tree”. The moral of the lyrics of the song portrays how a couple, like vines and trees, are always intertwined and not separated.
Here at MDC, we love the cross-cultural working environment. It stimulates us to be even more creative in terms of communication, and it challenges us to create something we equally understand. Sharing the stage was a lovely experience and a true celebration of cross-cultural art.
The stage was phenomenal, stretching (at least 30 meters) over the local mingehu lake. Everyone was welcome to come and watch the show (which consisted of multiple cross-cultural programs), and it was live-broadcasted on the internet.
