China Night

Last night, China Night performance. First was the Shaolin Temple
group performing two of the three forms we learned while there, with
some choreographed mock-fighting in between. Next was a cross-talk
performance (humorous dialogue), followed by orchestral pieces. Next
was my group; we played a Chinese lullaby song by a recent artist (I'm
fairly certain). I can't remember the exact order afterwards, but
other performances included erhu (Chinese violin), Professor Feng
singing Beijing Opera and Professor Gruber playing the accordian, an
Irish dance, more skits and songs (including an elaborate medley by
the Chinese song singing class), Taijiquan, ballroom dance, and some
others. Afterward, pretty much everyone went to Vics, a club in
Sanlitun district (lots of bars and clubs and restaurants).
