2020/2021 Season
Chandler Center for the Arts is proud to present its CCA Anywhere Series, connecting people through engaging virtual performances that can be watched on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV...wherever you may be.
Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company presents its family-friendly production honoring the Chinese Lunar New Year. With each year represented by one of the 12 animals of the zodiac and one of the five fundamental elements believed to make up the universe, this spectacular, vibrant, colorful three-day virtual event celebrates the Year of the Golden Ox.
Join us for this LIVE matinee on the third day of the New Year celebration with a 90-minute event that features dance, acrobatics, music, and opera – all performed by Chinese American artists – followed by a panel discussion. The program is suitable for viewers, age six and older.
“...None of these vignettes ever look traditionally folkloric. There is always something fresh about the way old elements are used to mesh into something new..." -Attitude
