Dancing With the Yak

Choreography: Shu Ze-Hong

2 Male Dancers and 1 Female Dancer

Music: Tibetan Folk

Lighting Design: Susan Summers

On the beautiful Himalayan Mountains live the Tibetan people who love to sing and dance.  This dance was created with the image of a young girl who is walking on the high mountain with her Yak.  As she is inspired by the beautiful scenery, she imagines the Yak turns into two young men dancing with her in a field with joy.  The movements in this dance are adapted from the Tibetan Folk Dance, and the dancers dance with the long sleeves which is a typical style of Tibetan people’s daily wear. The boldness in the movement shows Tibetan people’s passion for life.
