Stratford college organized "The Yao Culture" to come and perform in the Cultural Cafe. The group consisted of eight women and seven men all from the tribe of the "Yao." When the two men came on stage with poles everyone in the room was fairly confused. Everyone was interested in what was going to happen next. Straight away they impressed the audience when one man was flung into the air from just the force of another member of the tribe. They did this continuously for about twenty seconds whilst making hilarious sound effects!
There was also a choir consisting of the whole tribe who's voices were incredible!
The reason they were performing in the cultural cafe to us was because they were performing a preview for a later performance they would be holding in the evening. It was a good insight into seeing what the tribe achieves and undertakes. The women took on a part where they started singing this Chinese song. Their singing was amazing! Their voices were so high and they could hold a note for what seemed like forever!
Their motive to provide everyone with an experience of the Yao Culture succeeded. Everyone was left amazed with what fantastic skills this incredible tribe had!
They left with me wanting to find out more and return to their big performance which will hold bigger and better more dare defying stunts and fabulous singing!
I would only ask them to explain what was going on a little more in depth. As much as the acts and singing was amazing, we didn't know where they originate from or what was the meaning of it.
All in all their little preview for their big performance was great! Now I think they've attracted a big enough audience to sell out their big show tonight!
That was a good blog to be honest :D (told you I was reading it)
