Ann Arbor, Michigan: University of Michigan's 25-Foot 'Fu Shou Dragon' Performs Eight Shows in Four Months, Now at Weiser Hall
A 25-foot Asian-style "Fu Shou Dragon" created this year by the University of Michigan's Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies has performed eight dragon dances in four months, becoming one of the most talked-about cultural projects of the year in Ann Arbor's Chinese community. In a retrospective published on November 9, the center said the dragon was handmade this winter by artistic director Ray Wetzel together with 26 students in a mixed-media sculpture class. Its body was cut and sewn from recycled T-shirts and decorated with "bai jia yi" (hundred-family cloth) patterns bearing blessings written by community residents.
The dance team was assembled by project lead Carol Stepanchuk, with Alice Yin as lead dancer, and eight students, staff and local residents taking part. Completed in April, the dragon debuted at Hill Auditorium, later performed at Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers, and toured venues across Michigan. The article said the dragon is now installed at the university's Weiser Hall, where it will continue to meet students and faculty over the coming month.
The center said the dragon dance project lets students and residents of different ethnic backgrounds take part together in carrying on traditional Chinese festival culture.
