Chinese American Journeys&nbsp;&ndash; a special performance by the Atlanta Chinese Dance Company! From the 1996 Atlanta Olympic ceremonies to network television&rsquo;s So You Think You Can Dance, the Atlanta Chinese Dance Company has performed on some of the world&#39;s biggest stages. This summer, they bring it home: in-town, to Emory University for two August performances. Atlanta Chinese Dance Company (ACDC) presents Chinese American Journeys, a breathtaking evening of original dance theater at Emory Performing Arts Studio (PAS) on Saturday, August 15 (8 PM) and Sunday, August 16 (3 PM).&nbsp; The production is choreographed by ACDC Co-Artistic Kerry Lee &ndash; a Dance/USA Artist Fellow in Atlanta. Under her direction, Chinese American stories come alive through the dazzling art of Chinese dance: long silk ribbons slicing wide arcs through the air, the crack and flutter of fans opening, and movement that fuses centuries-old tradition with contemporary dance, ballet, and martial arts. For the first time, ACDC devotes a full-evening to original work amplifying modern American cultural stories in three mini dance dramas:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">&ldquo;Votes for Women&rdquo; &mdash; inspired by Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, the Chinese American teenager who led a 10,000-person march up New York&#39;s Fifth Avenue in 1912.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">&ldquo;Ribbon Dance of Empowerment&rdquo; &mdash; one girl&#39;s journey to self-acceptance and confidence growing up Chinese American in the South.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">&ldquo;We Belong Here&rdquo; &mdash; a stirring celebration of community, resilience, and coming together.</li></ul>As Georgia&#39;s first nonprofit Chinese dance company, dancers are thrilled to bring world-class artistry to the heart of the city. It&rsquo;s a showcase of culture, a feast for the eyes, and a story of how we find where we belong. Audiences from all backgrounds are welcome.
