SUMMARY:Mia Presents Qing Dynasty Women's Robes
DESCRIPTION:Emblems of a Prosperous Life: Women’s Robes of Late Imperial China (1700s – 1800s)\nJuly 14\, 2018 – June 30\, 2019\nGallery 218\nFree\n\nIn the 1700s and 1800s\, aristocratic Chinese women wore sumptuous clothing in and out of court. At court\, women’s attire was highly standardized; outside court\, they had greater flexibility to choose styles and designs that matched their personal taste. Robes arranged with medallion designs were considered the most formal. Robes with overall scattered schemes were less formal\, and robes with only decorative borders and plain grounds were the least formal. Floral imagery\, already popular for hundreds of years\, became increasingly realistic at this time. Many of these garments exemplify a fashion trend of the 1800s: cuffs and hems embellished with embroidered bands\, which in turn were often edged with strips of brocaded ribbon. \nPlease check artsmia.org for daily open hours

SUMMARY:Chinese Heritage Foundation Goes to the Guthrie Theatre
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the Guthrie Theatre’s commitment to diversity\, we are organizing a group outing to attend a performance of The Great Leap\, by Chinese American playwright Lauren Yee (https://laurenyee.com)\, on Tuesday January 29 at 7:30 PM. \nTicket prices for the A2 area in the McQuire Prescenium Theatre will be only $22/ticket\, a substantial reduction of the regular single ticket price.  Deadline for reservations is Friday\, January 18. \nCo-commissioned by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the Seattle Repertory Theatre\, this play premiered at these two theaters in the spring of 2018\, and was quickly followed by a run at the Atlantic Theatre Company in New York\, all to great acclaim.  The story is bookended by the Cultural Revolution and the Tiananmen protests\, and portrays how these two events affect the lives of its protagonists.  Here is a description from the Guthrie: \nThe Great Leap \nby LAUREN YEE\ndirected by DESDEMONA CHIANG\nJanuary 12 – February 10\, 2019\nA sharp-witted new drama\nWhen an American basketball team travels to Beijing for an exhibition game in 1989\, the drama goes deeper than the strain between countries. For two men with a past and one teen with a future\, the game is a chance to claim personal victories on and off the court. Tensions rise right up to the final buzzer as a pivotal moment in history collides with the action in the arena. Driven by rapid-fire dialogue\, this perceptive new play explores the cultural and political risks of raising your voice and standing your ground.\nContent Advisory: This production contains mature language. \nWe are excited to see the attention Chinese Americans are receiving both in the movie theater and on the theatre stage\, and are delighted that so many of you came to our discussion on the movie ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ on Sunday\, January 13 at the Traffic Zone for Visual Art.  There are parallel elements\, as well as divergent ones\, between this movie and The Great Leap; and we would be very interested in engaging in more future thoughtful and illuminating discussions on contemporary Chinese Americans in the U.S. and\, in particular\, Minnesota. \nSo please join us for the January 29 performance of The Great Leap and let us know (admin@chfmn.org or 612-722-4895) by noon January 18 how many tickets you would like to purchase.

SUMMARY:U MN College of Liberal Arts Asia Colloquium on The Three Kingdoms
DESCRIPTION:Asia Colloquium: “Old Novels\, New Media: The Three Kingdoms as Medieval History\, Ming-Dynasty Novel\, and Contemporary Video Game” with Professor Paize Keulemans (Princeton University)\nFriday January 25\, 2019\n1:30 pm – 3:00 pm\n155 Nicholson\n \nThis talk investigates a classical tale of ancient China\, The Three Kingdoms\, tracing its transformation through time\, across nations\, and over different media platforms. Set in the third century\, the story began as history\, but was soon adapted to a variety of media: poetry\, opera\, novel\, painting and\, in the modern age\, film\, tv-series\, animation\, and video-game. This talk will outline the narrative that leads from history to fiction to game not simply to fix a classic\, textual “origin” to contemporary media or suggest some kind of inevitable media evolution\, but rather to bring 21st-century game and 16th-century text\, ancient history and contemporary play together in a creative and at times surprising tension. What are the ludic attractions of a sixteenth-century novel?  What is the narrative of a game? How is a character developed in text and in pixels\, in words\, painting\, or (computer) screen? And how is the noise and confusion of a third-century battle strategically programmed as a bewildering mix of songs and signals produced by Sony’s Playstation’s digital signal processing chip? \nThe Asia Colloquium is free and open to everyone. \nALCM Asia Colloquium Series\n\n\n\nFor more information about the Asia Colloquia\, please contact the Department of Asian Languages and Literatures at all@umn.edu \n\nThe Asia Colloquium Series presents an opportunity to discuss the most recent research of scholars working on some aspect of Asian Studies. At colloquia\, invited scholars share their work and discuss theoretical and methodological issues that have relevance across national\, regional\, and disciplinary boundaries. The Asia Colloquium Series invites a range of scholars from other institutions\, and from departments and graduate programs at the University of Minnesota. \nThe Asia Colloquium is free and open to everyone. \nMany thanks to Pat Hui and the Pat Hui Fund for support for the Asia Colloquium. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Chinese Heritage Foundation presents 'Decoding Chinese Opera'
DESCRIPTION:Soprano FeiFei Shen\,申霏霏\, a graduate of the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Art (中国人民解放军艺术学院) in Beijing\, has forged a phenomenal career in a very short time.  In addition to being an accomplished singer in traditional Chinese opera\, she has championed both contemporary works and popular music.  Her world premiere performance and recording of ‘李清照\, Li QingZhao’\, an 11th-century Chinese woman poet\, has become an instant modern classic; and her performance of the song\, ‘To be Married to a Dog’\, in honor of the current Chinese Year of the Dog\, has become a runaway bestseller. She appears frequently on national television in China and\, in 2017\, was voted one of the top ten exponents of traditional Chinese music. \nFeifei is coming to the Twin Cities at the invitation of the Minnesota Chinese Dance Theatre\, and will participate in the Theatre’s Annual Rainbow Concert Series on December 8 at the St. Paul Student Center of the University of Minnesota.  She has graciously agreed to come to us the next day\, Sunday December 9\, to present a lecture/performance recital on traditional Chinese opera.  In collaboration with our very own Margaret Wong\, she will explain the symbolism and purpose of many of the traditional movements and will take you on a journey through some established favorites in Chinese opera\, such as ‘Dream of the Red Chamber.’ \n  \nDetails on this exciting event are listed below. All proceeds received at the concert will go to FeiFei\, to help defray her traveling expenses.  So please mark the date\, come and bring family and friends! \n  \nCordially\, \nCHF Advisory Committee \nCHFF Board of Directors

SUMMARY:Gao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo at Macalester College
DESCRIPTION:World Music at Macalester College presents a free concert by Gao Hong and Issam Rafea Duo  and the Macalester Asian Music Ensemble on October 20\, at 7:30 PM. \nGao Hong would like to invite you to her very special concert with Syrian oud master Issam Rafea at Macalester College.  Their music soars to new heights with each performance. If you heard them a year or even a few months ago\, you’ll be shocked by how much they’ve evolved in such a short period of time. Since they only play improvisations\, no two performances are ever the same. Each concert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience\, as the audience witnesses singular creations of high art that rise from the dust and come to life before their very eyes and ears – but are never to be seen or heard again. The more they perform together the more deeply they connect and the more beautiful and vibrant their music becomes. \nPlease come to the pre-concert talk/demonstration at 6:30 PM! \n  \n
