About the Event
Kick off the Year of the Dragon with traditional Asian arts, crafts, demonstrations, and performances for all ages! Festivities begin with the colorful ceremonial lion dance. Make dragon drums and dragon puppets in our Family Art Workshops, and learn the art of origami (paper folding). Enjoy performances of Chinese folk dances, Indonesian gamelan music and dance, and a demonstration of the ancient art of tai chi. A samulnori piece by the New York Korean Performing Arts Center youth group rounds out the afternoon’s program. At 2pm, enjoy a special showing of The Sky Tonight: The Skylore of China that features traditional Chinese constellations.
