November 06 Culture Night http://www.tcpulse.com/2005/11/29/ac/tsaculturenight/ Highlighting Asian Culture and Identity Nov 29, 2005 4:29 pm | by Catherine Scudera On Friday, November 11, in Rangos Ballroom, the Taiwanese Student Association (TSA) put on a spectacular Culture Night with the help of fourteen other Asian-interest organizations, all of which also put on routines during the show with the exception of the Japanese Student Association. Abiding by the theme "Born Identity," some of the performances addressed the difficulties of creating a personal identity while retaining Asian cultural heritage and fitting into American society. However, there were many performances that simply highlighted the rich traditions of Asia... ....Of the sixteen routines, onlythree directly spoke about Asian cultural heritage in the United States. Lambda Phi Epsilon gave a spoken word performance that tackled the issue of making an individual identity for oneself while standing up against racial prejudices, and also acted out a humorous skit with the Asian Students Association about integrating into society while maintaining cultural roots. TSA also submitted a comedy for their Culture Night, though theirs was a short film about staying proud about one's cultural heritage even when other people look down on it. Two performances were particularly unique in the Culture Night. One was the Lion Dance, which was the first routine of the night. In an amusing skit, the lion, a colorful though believable creature brought to life by two members of the Pittsburgh Lion Dance Association, and the Buddha, denoted by a perpetually smiling plastic mask, played off of one another and danced about the stage. The second was a kung-fu demonstration by the Black Mountain Spirit Kung Fu Club. Although performers dashed across the stage doing complicated martial arts moves, the routine's centering music and fluid motions lulled the audience into a calm reverie. |

One Night In Beijing http://www.tcpulse.com/2006/04/23/ac/onenightinbeijing/ Generations Represented at One Night in Beijing Apr 23, 2006 9:22 pm | by Ashley Birt On April 15, Awareness of Roots in Chinese Culture, or ARCC, presented the second annual One Night in Beijing in Rangos Ballroom. The event served as a cabaret that showcased various aspects of Chinese culture and the ethnic groups that have influenced it.. .....One Night in Beijing had a variety of performances from different cultures, all spread out over two acts. Each act began with a fashion showcase, which included clothing from various Chinese dynasties. Highlights from the first act include a performance of the Taiwanese song "Tenderness (Wen Rou)" by the band Non Entity, a Mongolian dance in which the dancers balanced small bowls on their heads, and a combination classical/ballet/lyrical dance which made use of beautiful silk ribbon fans and handkerchiefs. During the second act, highlights included "Return of the Ming Dynasty," a martial arts performance by Black Mountain Spirit School of Chinese Kung Fu, a hip-hop dance to Chinese pop music, a performance of the song "So Far Away" by Tepper junior Clement Tse and CFA sophomore Jacqueline Wong, and the finale dance to the "Yellow River Concerto," which included half of the event's committee. |
