Frequently asked questions

Unlike performances that focus on standalone dance pieces, Shan^9 Chinese Dance Drama Society places greater emphasis on the continuity of storytelling. We not only showcase the artistic beauty of each dance but also incorporate traditional culture and stories into the performance through scripts and acting, providing the audience with an immersive experience that delves deep into Chinese history and culture. The works of Ninefold Fan include original narratives, skillfully weaving together different styles of Chinese dance. Moreover, our board members have extensive leadership experience in various dance organizations, and our current Artistic Director has also served as the Artistic Director for other dance groups. 不同于侧重于独立的舞蹈片段，九重扇则更注重故事的连贯性。我们不仅展示每段舞蹈的艺术美感，更通过剧本和表演将传统文化和故事融入演出，带给观众沉浸式的体验，深入挖掘中国的历史和文化。九重扇的作品包含原创剧情，把不同风格的中国舞蹈巧妙地编织在故事情节之中。同时我们board成员有丰富的舞社leadership经验，现任Artistic Director也曾担任其他舞社的Artistic Director。
