The CYYCPERFORMANCE LOG

5/8/04 - ARTS First Weekend!
ARTS First as always was a big deal for the club. CYYC started the day on Saturday around noon out on the lawn of the Science Center with a brief workshop before heading over the Lowell Lecture Hall, site of the ARTS First Dance Festival, for a 2:30 performance. The routine involved 12 performers (largest group for the club ever!) - including three graduates and four first-time performers (Nan, Ben, Yao and Julie).

The routine we performed at Lowell Lecture Hall featured was excellently choreographed by Anicia, her opus 1, aww yeah, set to a mix of music from our standards Shaolin Soccer and Once Upon a Time in China to Korean rap, Crouching Tiger and Chinese Samba! The house was packed (many were turned away at the door); the performance was well received on the whole. The routine was originally supposed to feature long string in the middle of the routine, but it broke literally two seconds before the start of the routine and so Jen and Dave stepped in last minute with solos (perfectly done). Sweetness.

Following the performance, members of the club went back out onto the lawns of the Science Center to do teach some more first-timers. The day was capped off by sushi dinner at Justin's house and lots of board games.

Yeah ARTS FIRST.
