Guangxi, China<br />
August 3 - 7, 2005<br />
Whether per<strong>for</strong>ming a teasing tête á tête, an innocent<br />
fan dance <strong>for</strong> the family or a rhythmic, Spanish rumba,<br />
the graceful puppeteers of Guangxi are sure to delight<br />
with the unique beauty they’ve been passing along <strong>for</strong><br />
centuries. Downstairs Theater. Ages 5 and up.<br />
*Due to lack of visa approval <strong>for</strong> 6 of the 8 puppeteers,<br />
the <strong>Center</strong> was <strong>for</strong>ced to cancel this per<strong>for</strong>mance. After a<br />
year of preparation, following normal procedures <strong>for</strong> visa<br />
application and receiving initial approval <strong>for</strong> the petition<br />
from the United States Citizenship and Immigration<br />
Services, the <strong>Center</strong> received notice that the U.S. Embassy<br />
in Guangzhou, China, denied the visas <strong>for</strong> all but 2 of the<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mers. In these times of heightened security, it has<br />
become problematic to bring artistic groups from overseas,<br />
and this time the problems proved insurmountable, <strong>for</strong>cing<br />
our cancellation of the show.<br />
