Wisconsin Tibetan Association youth
perform at
Celebrating Youth 2007
|
It took the Wisconsin Tibetan Association president/emcee
some time to gather the young performers who were attired
heavily with traditional costumes, headdresses, and jewelry.
With only 20 minutes allotted time for the group's performance,
it was amazing to watch five different dance numbers that
obviously took many hours of practice. The stage backdrop was
the flag of Tibet, constantly reminding the audience that they
were viewing "ibetan youth in exile" who have found their new
home in Wisconsin. The Tibetan performers drew a big
intergenerational crowd as they proudly displayed the beauty
and significance of Tibetan folk dances that they could only
perform outside of their ancestral homeland.
Tenzin Choedon (lef) stood out
as the youth's
choreographer/director and
provided the bacground music
and drumming that guided the
young performers in their a
capella song-and-dance
numbers.
