When I went to see the
Spirit of Dragon at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, I was spellbound by such
an amazing performance. There was an entire series of arts, ranging from Street
Dance, to playing music, modern or traditional, contemporary or hip hop. It was
a very varied show and because of this would appeal to people of all ages and
with all opinions and favourites. Personally, my favourite chapter was the
street dancing, because it told a story through dance that was humorous and
well written with a hint of danger. The playing of the Chinese Harp was
exquisite and it was intriguing to see how this type of Chinese music is played
because I have never stopped to think about how different it sounds to our
traditional English music. The singing was very interesting because you could tell
what style the numbers were, even though the music was played with different
instruments to the ones we use and it was in a different language you could
still tell that some of it had been written quite recently. The dancing was
very professional and was interesting to see how tradition Chinese dance
interprets stories, tales and subjects. All put together, the performance was
amazing, interesting, spellbinding and a must-see for all those interested in
foreign culture. I would definitely go to their next performance and I strongly
recommend it to all people.
