From the Editor / 王凌星 Wang, Lingxing

ISSUE EDITOR

Michael Jackson was once quoted as saying: “I keep on dancing... and dancing...and dancing, because there is only dance.”

Thirteen years ago, a group of Manitobans who love to dance came together, with a fiery passion and a dream to preserve the oriental cultural heritage, came together to establish the Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts. Five years later, in order to allow more children to experience the love of dance, the Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada opened its welcoming doors.

For thirteen years, regardless of the weather, winter or summer, our passion and love for dance has never ceased. Regardless of the difficulties during hard times, our enthusiasm never waned. Perhaps we have yet to achieve what the Tang poem described: “beauty of the dancing Lotus as it spins, carving figures the world has never seen….”. Nor can we perform like the Han dynasty queen “dancing on the giant’s palm until the music ceased”. But who can doubt our love of our art? The greatness of an artist lie not in techniques, but in the heart.

Dance is like a record, it provide another form of expression of our lives. Dance is like a roll of film, it sealed our emotions.

Dance is like a moment in time; it will leave us with nostalgia.

The Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts has seen thirteen years come and go; and thirteen years is a short time for an art organization. Just like the title of that book of dance, we hope we can “Dance Forever”.

NEW YEAR CARNIVAL

Great Wall Insider

A Chinese New Year show overseas – Winnipeg Stop

On Mar 7, 2015, the 1400 seat theatre in the new Regent Casino Event Centre is filled to capacity. The “Chinese New Year Carnival” troupe from China landed in Winnipeg for the first time.

95% of the tickets were sold; the other seats were taken by VIPs. The standing ovation lasted for three minutes, and is proof of the calibre of the performance that night.

Chinese culture, multi-faceted yet unique

Chinese calligraphy is considered the deepest hiatus of the Chinese mind. It is also viewed as the ultimate art if one must make a comparison among various forms of art. Performed by the Chongqing Dance troupe, “Capturing the scenery in Ink” has successfully combined elements of Tai Chi, Kung Fu, musical instrument, dizi, to paint a long scroll of watercolour scenery within the time frame of five minutes.

The musical ensemble from the China Broadcast Folk Company has invited the Canadian guitarist Vito, and bass Frank, and drummer

10

Roberto to performed the “Charles Er Dashi Dance”. There are no less than a dozen times of applause throughout the piece. The contrast and the mix of instruments from two distinct cultures was captivating. We were all surprised by how these instruments could blend in so perfectly without losing their individual character, in the hands of each instrumentalist.

The famous er-hu soloist, Ms. Jiang Ka Mei, has been with the troupe for six years. Her traditional, classical, elegant and grandiose style, and her virtuosity has given a life to each of the pieces she played. Yet the audience can feel she has never lost the sense of Chinese culture within the pieces. Many must still hear the music in their heads after the show. In the show piece, “Horse racing”, the employment of the spiccato, pizzicato and Jete strokes has avidly portrayed the racing horse in the Mongolian Prairies.

Also notable are the Tang style “Rhythm of Dance”, the military “Parade of solders for the Chin Emperor” and the acrobatics “Yo-Yo” and “Hand in Hand”, all help made the three hours past in the blink of an eye.

NEW YEAR CARNIVAL

Great Wall Insider

First time in the Prairie Provinces after 6 years Chinese New Year Carnival for the year of the Ram is in Winnipeg for the first time. Yet the China Broadcasting Company has tailormade this show for the Western world. Since 2008, the troupe under this name has travelled six times in North America, with a record of 36 performances in 21 cities. They have appeared before 80,000 audiences. The troupe has grown from 20 performers to over 60 performers today. They first appeared in community halls, and soon filled top theatres designed for mainstream society.

The Chinese New Year Carnival is a wonderful cultural bridge between Canada and China. The group has contributed immensely to the exchange of culture between the two countries.

“I like Chinese culture. I have been to China before, but I cannot imagine I can see such a show in Winnipeg tonight. The performance was magnificent, specially the acrobatics, which I liked the most”, said Mr. Zac Whiteman, an audience member who was blown away by the caliber of the troupe tonight.

According to the China Canadian Cultural Development Association, the realization of the Chinese New Year Carnival to appear on a Winnipeg stage was the hard works of the Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts. Members of the MB Great Wall Performance Arts left no stone unturned to make this show happen. From transportation

to translation, from food to flight, our members have strived to make this event flawless. The president Mr. Gary Liu affirmed “we have focused on cultural exchange for years and we have never taken our sight off our mandate. We insist on a high caliber Chinese New Year show for Manitobans. After tonight’s show I feel a little more at ease, finally.”

We Change with the times so all can feel at home

According to Mr. Jiang Ping, the troupe leader of the show, for 2015, he gathered a small folk instrument ensemble from the China Broadcasting Folk Orchestra, which could perform alone, but can also serve as accompaniment for the Chongqing and Guangdong dance troupe during their dance performances, magic or acrobatics. With the theme of celebration in mind, the performances sought to unify and showcase the esthetics and purity of its Chinese cultural content, without losing sight of the fact that this is going to be presented in front of an international audience. In the end, the Chinese New Year Carnival 2015 is a perfect amalgamation of Chinese music, dance, beauty and form, under the umbrella of the theme to celebrate the coming of Spring.

Greetings received

All three levels of government have sent greetings to celebrate the Chinese New Year and included the Premier of Canada, The Right Honorable Stephen Harper; the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, His Honour Philip S. Lee; the Premier of Manitoba, Premier Greg Selinger; the Mayor of Winnipeg, Mayor Brian Bowman; and the Chief Consul from the China Consulate of Toronto, Mr. Bing Xie. Each had only high praise for the contribution of the local Chinese community to the Canadian society at large, and sincerely wished our show a great success.

温尼伯长城艺术团参与《胡桃夹子》演出纪 文 / 王凌星 Text by Wang, Lingxing 图 / 吕北北 Photo by Lu, Beibei 特别鸣谢 / 温尼伯皇家芭蕾舞团 Special thanks to Courtesy of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet

如

果说央视春节联欢晚会作为农历中国新年最具特色的 演出代表，那么胡桃夹子就是加拿大人的春晚，至少 在过去的这15年里，在温尼伯，这一传统延续至今。今年这一 传统出现了新的改变，中国元素出现在《胡桃夹子》里小女主 人公的梦境里，受邀完成这一组重要角色的正是长城舞蹈学 校的舞者们。

受邀参演传统演出 首演于1892年的《胡桃夹子》和《睡美人》， 《天鹅湖》一 起，并称世界三大芭蕾舞剧，也是柴可夫斯基留给这个复杂世 界最纯真的梦。130多年《胡桃夹子》历久弥新，并且散发出更 加诱人的气质，这其中除去壮丽的舞台布景，华美的服饰，更 多的归功于浪漫派作曲家柴可夫斯基赋予《胡桃夹子》多彩绚 烂极富感染力的音乐。 今年受加拿大皇家芭蕾舞团的邀请，长城舞蹈学校负责剧 目中第二幕胡桃夹子王子用大型的文娱表演来回报克拉拉其 间中国舞的表演。 “跳之前我又激动又紧张，激动是因为这是一次展示中国 文化，同时也是展现中国舞蹈的好机会，紧张是因为我怕跳不 好，从此给老外留下中国舞不过如此的印象”，这是刘晨欣回 忆自己在上场前的状态， “反倒后来开始跳了也就放开了，没想 这么多，想着说跳好就行”,刘晨欣在这次演出中跳了一场女主 角一场中国舞。

精心准备倾情演出 其实经过130多年的成功演出，观众对《胡桃夹子》的剧情 早已烂熟于心，观众的注意点自然也从剧情上转到了演员的功 底以及表演水准上。扬名在外的中国舞蹈这次在温尼伯迎来 它在加拿大及世界各国人民前的又一次绽放。 “其实这次演出 还是相当成功的，我也非常感谢舞者们的付出，感谢他们下班 后依然来排节目，也感动于他们排练忙到没时间吃饭，晚上很 晚结束演出回家的付出。没有她们就没有这么精彩的表演。” 长城舞蹈团团长刘钢在接受采访时如是说。这些舞者是：王 茜, 高杨, 冯嘉敏, 胡静文, Vanessa Leung Shing。

母女同台 很有意思的是在今年《胡桃夹子》的舞台上出现了母女二 人同台演出的场景。来自长城的舞者王茜和女儿一起为《胡桃 夹子》献上了精彩的一幕，王茜出演中国舞片段，而她8岁的女 儿在剧中饰演小老鼠，母女同台这样珍贵的记忆也让王茜感触 良多： “我非常珍惜这次机会，这样母女同台的经历会成为最 美好的回忆。” 无论东方的民族舞，还是西方的芭蕾，纵然语言不一，表 演形式亦千差万别，但是怀着对美好的追求，对艺术的敬仰， 这一次长城舞蹈学校和加拿大皇家芭蕾舞团的合作演出用事 实来证明美是没有国界的。诚如不是每个人都能跳舞，但是每 个人心中都有自己最美的舞蹈和最纯真的梦境。

Nutcraker

Great Wall Insider

Pure Daydream MGWPA Participating in <Nutcracker> performance

If the CCTV Chinese New Year Show is considered the highlight of show business in China, Nutcracker is the highlight of the art scene in Winnipeg. This tradition of Nutcracker performance during the Christmas season has taken place for the last 15 years. In the 2014 performance, a new direction was taken — in the dream of the little princess, the Chinese dance is performed by authentic Chinese dancers, and all are members of the Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada.

Premiered in 1892, Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “Swan Lake” are the three cornerstones of ballet in the modern world. These are the most pure dreams Tchaikovsky left for the world to ponder. In the past 130 years, “Nutcracker” has been re-choreographed numerous times, with new sets, costumes and more. The music remains the same nonetheless; the captivating tunes by Tchaikovsky never lose its touch with the

28

audience over the years.

Accepting the invitation from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, dancers of the Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada were honoured to perform the Chinese Dance, one of the dances among the multicultural dances prepared by the Nutcracker Prince for the Princess in the second act of the Ballet.

“It was a mixture of excitement and butterflies. I was excited because this is a great chance to show off some Chinese culture and some authentic Chinese dance moves. I was nervous because if I make mistakes, I would forever leave a lacklustre impression for the audience”, as recalled by one of the dancers, Liu Chenxin, describing her mood before going on stage. “Once I am on stage, however, I just kept going, because there is no looking back”. Liu Chenxin is happy she had the opportunity to perform a little solo as well.

胡桃夹子 Great Wall Insider

After 130 years, the audience is well aware of the story lines of “Nutcracker”. Many of them have shift the attention to the skills of the performers.

Dancers of the Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada are ecstatic to have had this chance to perform in front of the Winnipeggers, which may include a subgroup of a very international audience. “This event is a big success for The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and for the Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada.

I am grateful to the dancers of our academy. They diligently came to rehearsals after work every day.

They had many late dinners and went home late on many nights. Our school simply cannot do without them”, commented Gary Liu, President of Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts. The performers were Qian Wang, Yang Gao, Vanessa Leung Shing, Carmen Feng and Ivy Hu.

There was an interesting moment in a couple performances, when one of the performers

had brought her little daughter on stage during the performance. The mother, Qian Wang, danced in the Chinese dance, and the daughter was a cute little mouse. Qian Wang found herself in awe afterwards. ”This rare opportunity for both of us to perform on stage together is the most memorable moment in our lives thus far. It will be treasured in my memory forever.”

The Chinese folk dance and the western ballet speak different languages. The means employed in their artistic expression are like night and day, yet both yearn for a common dream; the dream for perfection in beauty and art. This joint venture proves that there is no clear dividing line between the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada. Not everyone is a dancer performer, but that does not preclude each of us from having a vision of a perfect dance or an innocent dream in our psyche.

Asian Heritage Month Great Wall Insider

May, 2014 May,2015 Asian Heritage Month In 1993, the Government of Canada officially declared the month of May of every year, the Asian Heritage Month.

During the month of May from 1993 onwards, Canadian cities would hold annual celebration to highlight the contributions of Asian Canadians to Canadian society.

The high caliber of our performance is the staple of our group and we are well recognized by the mainstream society and many other organizations. We are the longest serving Chinese performing arts group. We believe we play a significant role in the various activities of the Asian Heritage Month.

记

忆中的夏天总是来得很欢乐，雪糕，T恤，音乐节；而夏天 也隐含着淡淡的伤感，中考，高考，离别。不能说离开就 是结束，但是每一次阶段性的结束都是对于过去最好的总结。

2015年6月7日下午,曼省总督夫妇与温尼伯长城舞蹈学校的 学生和家长们共聚一堂,欣赏学生们的2015年度舞蹈汇报演出。 这既是一次学生展示自己风采的时刻也是对长城舞蹈学校所有 老师辛勤付出最好的褒奖。 演出一开始，余玉容女士代表长城舞蹈学校理事会，感谢国 务院侨办外派舞蹈老师高杨对长城舞蹈学校所做出的贡献， 感谢她不远万里从中国来温尼伯这一年的指导和交流，同时也 赞扬了学生们学习舞蹈的积极性和热情。与此同时，学校还对 2015年度进步最大的学生Vivian Zhao,Kristina Yu,Jacob Anderson, Tianyang Liu和Jennifer Simcoe进行了表彰。 与往年不同的是，今年长城舞蹈学校新增设了由David Tang 捐赠的奖学金，奖励长期在长城舞蹈学习舞蹈并在本年度高中 毕业的学生。长城舞蹈学校的学生胡静文首次获得此殊荣。 今年的舞蹈汇报演出除了常规的中国民族舞、古典舞、芭蕾 和功夫表演之外还颇具亮点。亮点之一是3-4岁班的家长和小孩 同台演出，父母和孩子同在舞台上表演，个个憨态可掬，颇具童 心。亮点之二是是音乐舞蹈剧“猫鼠之夜”。这是舞蹈学校的首 次尝试，排练也只用了1个多月，但确是当天演出收获掌声最多的 节目。舞台上孩子们用肢体语言惟妙惟肖的展示了猫和老鼠斗智 斗勇的场景。 最后汇报演出以获曼省35届舞蹈比赛最高金奖的舞蹈《风酥 雨忆》结束。演出结束后大家难离惜别之情纷纷拍照留念。谁说 离开就舍得呢，但是离开是为了更好的相聚。每一次的相聚与离 别之间，我们都用心书写下了精彩。

Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada’s year end recital

Memories of summer are always of ice cream, T-shirts, and music festivals. Summer also has its heavy-hearted moments: mid-terms, finals, and departures. But we shall not equate departure with expiration, for our annual recital is but an annual summary of what took place in the last school year.

On June 7, 2015, in the presence of the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, the Hon. Philip S. Lee and her Hon. Anita Lee, students and parents of the entire Great Wall Dance Academy of Canada assembled to celebrate the end of the 201415 school year. This recital was an exhibition of the students’ achievements in dance, and is a welldeserved accolade to all of the teachers’ dedication.

The show begins with a speech by the Vice President of Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts (MGWPA), Rosanna Leung Shing. On behalf of the Board of directors of MGWPA, Rosanna thanked the lead teacher, Yang Gao, who was the professional dance teacher chosen by China’s Office for Oversea Chinese for exchange and directorship, to assist our school’s 2014-15 programs. Rosanna also expressed the delight of the Board in the students’ passion and eagerness to learn this year. Yang Gao recognized the most improved students Vivian Zhao, Kristina Yu, Jacob Anderson, Tianyang Liu, and Jennifer Simcoe. Each had received a certificate commemorating their achievements.

This year, our academy has established a new scholarship fund, initiated by our board

member, David Tang. The scholarship recognized one high school graduate of the current year who attended the Great Wall Dance Academy for over five years and excelled in dance and academic achievements. Ivy Hu was the student selected this year to receive this scholarship.

The recital program showcased more than the routine Chinese folk dances, traditional dances, ballet and Kung Fu demonstrations. One new attempt was “A dance with My Parent”, where one adult family member was invited on stage to dance with the 3-4 year old child. Another interesting number was the mini-musical, “The night of the cat and mouse game”. This was our first attempt in this style. The rehearsal started only one month beforehand, but this mini-musical had received the loudest applause that day. You must be aware that the musical was a body language interpretation of mind games between the cat and mouse characters.

Of special mention, this year the Great Wall Dance Academy has received the highest “Gold Honour” in the 35th Manitoba Dance Festival (May 2015), with the Chinese folk dance “Drizzle memories”.

Everyone present at the recital had a hard time parting at the end of the day, but a large number of group pictures were taken before the end of the day. Between departure and reunion, we transcend our emotions into dance, for the sake of dance, through our hearts.

长城与您 天涯共此时

2015长城艺术团 中秋晚会圆满落幕 文 / 王凌星 Text by Wang, Lingxing 图 / 陆至理 Photo by Dr. Tsi-li Luk

海上生明月，天涯共此时 每到中秋，思乡之情油然而生,身为海外游子更是盼望能 与家人一起共享“海上生明月，天涯共此时”的团圆时刻。 今年中秋夜前夕（9月25日）由长城艺术团举办的曼尼托 巴第十二届中秋晚会在温尼伯城中心的金冠酒楼举行，这也 为所有身在温尼伯的华人的提供了一次在异乡与同胞共度中 秋佳节的机会。

露从今夜白，月是故乡明 当我们遥望同一轮十五的皓月，心里却牵挂着远方的亲 人“这也是为什么我们一直举办温尼伯华人中秋晚会的初 衷，我明白身在海外的思乡情结，所以我希望我们华人能够 齐心协力，也希望我们真正能有一个可以畅谈与相聚的机 会”长城舞蹈团团长刘钢如是说。 今年除了月饼以及丰盛的中秋晚宴，曼省省督李绍麟及 夫人慷慨捐赠长城艺术团1000加元以支持长城艺术团和舞 蹈学校的发展。长城舞蹈团的学生们还为晚会奉献了一场精 彩的演出。获得今年曼尼托巴省最高舞蹈金奖的舞蹈《风酥 雨忆》更是将晚会的气氛推向高潮。

但愿人长久，千里共婵娟 赏月，吃月饼，舞龙……无论何种中秋仪式都寄托着我们 对于远方家人的思念，当我们把酒问月的时候，许下家人健 康快乐的美好祝愿，也愿人长久， “千里共婵娟”。曼省省督 李绍麟及夫人,曼省文化部长马萨利罗，温尼伯市议员詹妮 丝,以及来自各行各业的华人约400人共襄盛举。

2015 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet The moon rises from the sea, heaven and earth sharing this moment

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the sentiment of homesickness prevails. We are hoping to share the moment and unite with our close families.

This year on September 25, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, organized by Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts, was held at Kum Koon Garden restaurant in Winnipeg’s Chinatown. We have provided an opportunity for all Manitobans to learn and to celebrate this important Chinese festival.

Frost is white from tonight; the moon is brightest when close to home

When we look into the distance of the super moon, our hearts cannot stop but think about our distant relatives. “That is one reason why we hold Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. I understand there are a lot of overseas Chinese here. I hope this is a chance for all of us to work together, and have a chance to sit down and share each other’s experiences in Canada”, the president of the Manitoba Great Wall Performing Arts, Gary Liu said.

In addition to this year’s moon cake and hearty dinner, the former Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba Hon. Philip S. Lee and his wife generously donated $1,000 to support the development of the Great Wall Performing Arts’ activities. Students from the Great Wall Dance Academy also prepared dances for the occasion. The dance “Dancing in the drizzle”, which won the 2015 Manitoba Dance Festival’s highest High Gold honour, helped lift the emotion of the evening to the top.

To meet again despite physical distance

Full moon, eating moon cake, dragon dance...however we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, we miss our distant family members. When we raised the wine glasses and questioned the moon; we wished for the promise of health and happiness to our family. We longed to see each other many more times, for many years to come, “To meet again despite the physical distance for the moment”.

Approximately 400 people joined in the festivities of the evening including former Lieutenant Governor Hon. Philip S. Lee and his wife, Government of Manitoba Minister of Multiculturalism and Literacy Hon. Flor Marcelino, City of Winnipeg Councilor Janice Lukes, and Canadians of Chinese heritage from all walks of life.
