Our artistic style of innovative contemporary intercultural physical theatre with the use of cross-cultural music collaborations, is unique in this way and we\u2019re the first and only creatives among all the performing arts groups in Australia: Our previous projects address Asian-Australian contemporary physical theatre practice and the collaborations between Chinese and Western classic music elements. We’ve done the first ever physical theatre piece combining Chinese and Australian performers under a Chinese director, and a first time ever Guitar\/Guzheng musical collaboration in intercultural physical theatre, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our productions and showcases have attracted large audiences to the past several performances with an average of more than100 for each of the last shows. The performances were considered as one of the most popular shows at relevant arts festivals such Melbourne Fringe Hub and La Mama\u2019s War-rak\/Banksia Festival, and our distinct cross-cultural theatre and music performances have been acclaimed from a list of honoured VIP guests from government representatives, as well as a large number of general audience, festival visitors, media and public, all of which demonstrate our achievements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
