    V2-TheatreRev_OPUS_7_1.qxp copy.qxp 03/04/2019 16:02 Page 136 THEATRE REVIEW Chimerica by Lucy Kirkwood, first performed at the Almeda Theatre, London, 20 May, 2013; transferred to Harold Pinter Theatre, London, 6 August, 2013. Revived at Studio Theater, Washington DC, September/October, 2015 Reviewed by David Scharff* “In ancient Greek myth, a ‘chimera’ was a fire-breathing monster with a lion’s head and a serpent’s tail. In Lucy Kirkwood’s drama, (2013) Chimerica is something bigger and scarier than that. The word was origi- nally coined by historian Niall Ferguson to describe the globally dominant, co-dependent relationship between trigger-happy spendthrift America and control-freak, money-grabbing China” (McGinn, 2013). Chimerica opens with the iconic photograph of Tiananmen Square, 4 June, 1989. We see the “Tank Man” who blocked the advance of a tank towards the protesters, his back to us. A shopping bag in each hand, he faces the tank, which then refuses to run him down. The playwright’s script instructions read, “It is a photograph of one country by another country.” Cultural and political encounter is the theme of the play, played out in the fictional and intensely personal portrait of two denizens of cultures that are in conflict and contrast in so many ways. Joe Schofield, who took the photo as a neophyte news photographer at the age of nineteen, now seeks to find the legendary, if now all but forgotten, “Tank Man” twenty-three years later, just as, in America, Obama seeks re-election against Mitt Romney. In the play, Joe tries to sell his editor a story about investigating whether the tank man is still alive, presumably living now in the US.

  • China Ranks Number One Or Does It? Should We Care?
    China Ranks Number One or Does It? Should We Care? Povolny Lecture Series in International Studies, Lawrence University February 19, 2015 Merton D. Finkler, Ph.D. In my talk, I address the five questions: 1. What does China Ranked #1 mean? 2. Is being #1 part of the “China Dream?” 3. Will China’s economy dominate the 21st century? 4. Does economic dominance matter? 5. How should the US and the rest of the world respond to China’s rising economic power? In October 2014, the International Monetary published a report indicating that in purchasing power parity terms, China had passed the United States as the world’s largest economy. The British weekly the Economist put this observation in historical perspective by showing that China ranked as the world’s largest economy for all but the last two hundred years. http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21623758-chinas-back Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) calculations recognize that income when translated into a common currency buys different amounts of goods in different countries based on the prices local residents pay for these goods. Thus, PPP can be useful for portraying income per capita across countries to measure how people’s living standards vary across countries. Such calculations, of course, require a variety of assumptions regarding which goods and services to include and at what prices. Such details won’t be my focus today because, in GDP per capita terms, China is a middle income country at roughly $7,000 per capita versus $52,000 in the US. When adjusted for purchasing power, China’s income per capita rises to about $12,000 roughly the same level as Columbia, the Dominican Republic, and Jordan.

  • Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance
    Post-Cold War Experimental Theatre of China: Staging Globalisation and Its Resistance Zheyu Wei A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Creative Arts The University of Dublin, Trinity College 2017 Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library Conditions of use and acknowledgement. ___________________ Zheyu Wei ii Summary This thesis is a study of Chinese experimental theatre from the year 1990 to the year 2014, to examine the involvement of Chinese theatre in the process of globalisation – the increasingly intensified relationship between places that are far away from one another but that are connected by the movement of flows on a global scale and the consciousness of the world as a whole. The central argument of this thesis is that Chinese post-Cold War experimental theatre has been greatly influenced by the trend of globalisation. This dissertation discusses the work of a number of representative figures in the “Little Theatre Movement” in mainland China since the 1980s, e.g. Lin Zhaohua, Meng Jinghui, Zhang Xian, etc., whose theatrical experiments have had a strong impact on the development of contemporary Chinese theatre, and inspired a younger generation of theatre practitioners. Through both close reading of literary and visual texts, and the inspection of secondary texts such as interviews and commentaries, an overview of performances mirroring the age-old Chinese culture’s struggle under the unprecedented modernising and globalising pressure in the post-Cold War period will be provided.

Although music therapists work with Chinese people in the United States, Canada, Australia, and China, little is known about how these music therapists incorporate Chinese culture in their practice in order to provide culturally-responsive music therapy. This ethnographic research study aimed to understand how Western-trained music therapists incorporated Chinese culture in their practice in China. The researcher observed music therapy sessions of two Western-trained music therapists in a neurologic rehabilitation and mental rehabilitation department in a hospital setting in China.
