Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats

august 14, 2013

flex strength and beauty at Spencer ALTO — The Golden Dragon Acrobats, a performance troupe of 27, represent the best of a timehonored tradition that began more than 2,500 years ago and celebrates tremendous athletic strength, balance, inner harmony and timing. Their acrobatic feats include amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, grace and strength. All is choreographed with a level

of ceremony and spellbinding beauty that takes viewers back in time.

The Golden Dragons are recognized throughout the U.S. and abroad as the premiere Chinese acrobatic touring company of today. Having toured more than 65 countries on five continents, the company has enjoyed such honors as a six-week sold-out run on Broadway and the New York Drama Desk award nominations for Unique Theatrical Experience and Best Choreography.

The troupe of acrobats appear in Spencer spotlights at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17 to perform their beautiful daring-do in the theater’s intimate setting. Check them out – bring the entire family. Excellent seats are available for $69 and $66. Call 575-3364800 or go to www.spencertheater.com for tickets. A pre-performance buffet ($20) is also available at 6 p.m.

About Chinese acrobatics

Steeped in tradition, the ancient art form of acrobatics is among the most popular art form in all of China. While many historical records provide evidence for the development of Chinese acrobatics as far back as the Xia Dynasty (4,000 years ago), it is most commonly held that the art form did not become wildly popular until approximately 2,500 years ago, when it began to capture the attention of the country’s powerful emperors.

During the Warring States Period (475 BC - 221 BC) acrobatics in China began to evolve from the working lives of its people. Instruments of labor, such as tridents and wicker rings, and

articles of daily use such as tables, chairs, jars, plates and bowls began to be used as performance props. This unorganized form of entertainment and leisure eventually evolved into a form of performance that became recognizable to the Chinese people.

During the Han Dynasty (221 BC - 220 AD) these rudimentary acts of acrobatics developed into the “Hundred Plays.” More contents and varieties were quick to develop. Musical accompaniment was soon added to the performance as interest in the art form grew among the emperors. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) the number of acrobats greatly increased as the skills of each individual performer slowly began to become much more precise and amazing.

Since these early times, acrobatics have evolved into many forms of performances including dance, opera, martial arts and sports. However, the impact of Chinese acrobatics goes far beyond the boundaries of performance as it has served an important role in the cultural exchange between China and Western nations including the United States. The citizens of China continue to present their acrobatic art for the world, as it portrays the hard working nature of their people and sets forth an example of the rich traditions of Chinese culture.

Immerse your senses with this rich art form live in the intimate space of the Spencer. This promises to be a jaw-dropping acrobatic experience for all. Visit www.spencertheater.com for more information.

ART ON SKIN IN RUIDOSO

By Rosalyn Stevenson Tre Garcia, owner of Tre’s Tattoos, at 1309 Sudderth, started doing tattoos at 15.

For the past nine years he has had a thriving tattoo business in Ruidoso. He says: “I run an upscale studio. Tattooing is not about outlaws and sailors anymore. Professionals are our biggest clients, a few more women than men. The women usually want something like whatever is trending on Pinterest or other online sources. We do all kinds of tattoos however. Professionals can wear shirts over the tattoo and still know they are making a statement on their body.”

Garcia employs two other tattoo artists, Derek Toohey and Matthew Erskine and has one apprentice, Matthew Baca.

New Mexico state requires that a tattoo artist have 1,500 hours of apprenticeship before becoming licensed. Licensing curriculum includes sterilization of tools; preparing the skin and much more. Garcia says, “We spend a lot of time learning how to best interact with clients, too. This is a people business.” The three also attend tatPhoto courtesy of Tre’s Tattoos Studio

Lea County Master Gardeners training event scheduled for Aug. 23 On Friday Aug. 23, the Lea County Master Gardeners will host two special events at the Western Heritage Museum. The first event that begins at 5:30 p.m. is for the Lea County Master Gardeners and others that we can pull into this training program

by Bill Dunmire.

This speaking engagement is entitled “New Mexico’s Living Landscapes a Roadside View.” The program and slides will about 45 minutes and wrap up with a question and answer session with Dunmire.

Certified master gardeners and trainees will get accrual hours for attending this program, helping host the two public events as a subcommittee member. This is also the same training program that he has offered for the last two years in Albuquerque’s three-day Water Wise Landscape Conferences.

New Mexico is third among states of greatest natural diversity, exceeded only

by Texas and California. The illustrated talks will answer such questions as “Why does the countryside around Taos look so different from that surrounding Farmington, Albuquerque, or Las Cruces?”

The slide-illustrated program amounts to a layman’s ecology of New Mexico, with stunning photographs. The 45-minute-long presentation takes viewers to the fours corners of our state, focusing on New Mexico’s

six eco-regions along with some of our national and state scenic byways. It will cover the Chihuahuan Desert bordering Mexico, the Great Basin Desert that spills over into the Four Corners region; the Great Plains Grassland covering our eastern prairies; the Great Basin Grassland occupying the middle Rio Grande westward; the alpine Montane Forests of the Sangre de Cristo, Sandia and Sacramento Mountains; and the Piñon-Juniper Woodlands scattered along the bases of New Mexico’s mountains.

The second event will begin at 7 p.m. for the public at the Museum’s theater room.

All presentations are free to the master gardeners and the public. As this special tour featuring Dunmire swings through Lea County, it is provided by the New Mexico Humanities Council and their grants. Jal’s, Woolworth Library was scheduled on Thursday night for Dunmire’s new book just released entitled, “New Mexico’s Spanish Livestock Heritage: Four Centuries of Animals, Land, and People.” More than three years of intense academic research went into this book and is the first book ever published on the history of livestock in New Mexico.

The program will present some background on the several species of domestic livestock and then describe how Puebloans and Navajos slowly adopted horses, don-

keys, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and chickens after their arrival with the Spanish colonist in 1598. It will cover the spread of livestock during the colonial times, how quickly the Plains Indians learned to steal and ride horses, and how horses became central to their economy. The talk will describe how sheep became New Mexico’s most important economic animal, growing to a population of five million animals in the province by then end of the 19th century. It will cover the arrival of cattlemen from Texas, the rising economic importance of cattle in the state and how cattle on our eastern plains have replaced the historic herds of bison and have become a vital positive element of grassland perpetuation there today. The effects of introduced livestock upon Native peoples – both the good and the bad – will be included.

The topic of how an explosion of livestock numbers, particularly sheep, caused increasing environmental damage, will lead to how the deterioration of our native grasslands was finally recognized by scientists, eventually resulting in the enactment of the Taylor Grazing Act, various state regulations and the adoption of more progressive livestock management practices. The program concludes with interviews made with four ethnic groups, relating their views of how livestock has affected their families in the past.

A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with degrees in wildlife management and zoology, Bill Dunmire served 28 years in the National Park Service, mostly as a naturalist in a number of parks including Yosemite, Yellowstone and Carlsbad Caverns, where he retired as superintendent in the mid-80s. For seven years he was a field biologist with The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico. A professional nature photographer and author of numerous natural history publications, including co-author of award-winning “Wild Plants of the Pueblo Province and Gardens of New Spain: How Mediterranean Plants and Foods Changed America,” Dunmire lives with his wife, Vangie, in Placitas, New Mexico.

He is an Associate in Biology at the University of New Mexico and a Research Associate at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. This program is partially supported by a grant from the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities.
