Victoria’s leading Asian performance and workshop provider,
Asia Raya, presents.......
Asia raya’s performance showcasing the performing arts of China, the music, dance and puppetry from that dynamic country to our north. We start our journey with the Umbrella dance. This dance represents the playful nature of a young Chinese girl as she plays with her umbrella. After this we have a couple of musical items from a couple of unique Chinese instruments, namely the Hulus (a flute) and the Yangquin (a Lute). These instruments encapsulate the tranquillity and yearning of the Chinese people. After the Hulus and the Yangquin, we are ready for another dance.
This
time the ribbon dance. The movements of the clouds are used in this
dance to guide the ribbons as they float through the air. Next up is a
demonstration of the martial art “Tai Chi”, then a modern dance called
the “Kung Fu Fan dance”. Kung Fu itself goes back thousands of years,
but using the movements of Kung Fu in a Fan dance is a recent
phenomenon.
Dragons
are a symbol of good luck and prosperity for the Chinese people, and
now we present an item where we use a Chinese temple drum to awaken the
dragon. Will we be successful? We shall have to see!!
“China focus” concludes with a shadow puppet performance, where we tell a Chinese folk story using shadow puppetry.

Costing and Contact
A
performance of "China Focus" costs $1000.00 + GST, plus travel, which depends
on where your school is situated. Schools within 100 km radius of
Bendigo are free. A travel component of $50.00 is added for every
further 50 km from Bendigo. The travel component for schools within the
metropolitan region is rated at $100.00 for schools in the Northern and
Western Metropolitan Region, and $150.00 for schools in the Southern
and Eastern Metropolitan Region.
As
well as a travel component, there is a fee of $2.00 per child above 200
students. For example a school of 310 students in the NMR would incur a
cost of $1000.00 (base rate) + $100.00 (travel) + $220.00 ($2.00 × 110
students) = $1320.00 + GST of $132.00 = $1452.00.
Student numbers are to be determined the day before the performance (at least), and an invoice will be brought on the day of the performance, with payment being by cheque no later than a month after the performance
