Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Dear Art Lovers in TBP, Love and Love alone... Enjoy this wonderful and awesome dance programme by the deaf. Click on the link given in the below reproduced mail, which I received from a different source. Love and Love alone.... P. Gopi Krishna === Thousand-Hand Guanyin Posted by: " Alton Slater " altonslater lostnfoundation Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:37 pm (PST) Please to see this awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin* performed by 21 DEAF dancers. Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf. Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring. Its first major international debut was in Athens at the closing ceremonies for the 2004 Paralympics. But it had long been in the repertoire of the Chinese Disabled People's Performing Art troupe and had travelled to more than 40 countries. Its lead dancer is 29 year old Tai Lihua, who has a BA from the Hubei Fine Arts Institute. The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival celebrations in 2005. *Sidenote from Bess: It says " Guanyin " on this e mail and video , but it should say " Quan Yin " , one of my favourites.. She is the Goddess of Compassion.. * *either way, this is SO worth seeing!* Thousand Hand Guan Yin http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=xgHmSdpjEIk Gopi Krishna <gopi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
