Staged in a unique visual and sonic environment employing sensor-based EEG technology and sensor-in-bedded on paper, Peony Dreams is inspired by China’s most 7:30-8:30 a.m. Coffee and Refreshments (ACE Lounge) revered work of literature, The Peony Pavilion, which tells of a young woman’s impossible – and impossibly romantic – 9-3 p.m. K-12 Chinese Teacher Training Workshop (ACE 217; Pre-registration required)dreams. Emerging from the narrative skeleton of this famed work, Peony Dreams tells the contemporary story of a young dancer growing up during the chaos of the Chinese Cultural Revolution – the story, in fact, of the choreographer herself. 8:30-10 a.m. Session 4 (ACE classrooms) In this work, Yin Mei – an artist of the Chinese diaspora who has been part of the New York contemporary dance scene 10-10:15 a.m. Coffee Break (ACE Lounge) since the 1990s – utilizes the hundreds of letters she wrote as a homesick young dancer during the Cultural Revolution 10:15-11:45 a.m. Session 5 (ACE classrooms) (1966-76). Discovered only recently by her parents in China, these letters, written by her to faraway persons both real and imagined, form the raw material for a potent exploration of memory, history, culture and identity. Indeed, Peony Dreams 12-1 p.m. Boxed Lunch (ACE Lounge) can be seen as a closing of the circle on the themes set out in her earlier successful dance theater work, Empty Tradition/City of Peonies. Peony Dreams gazes at three distinct women’s selves in three distinct time periods: the fictional self of The Peony Pavilion’s young heroine … Yin Mei’s child self growing up during the Cultural Revolution … and the choreographer’s adult self – an artist striving to create work in a fraught global environment. Three women, three time periods, three outliers – all dreaming of a world beyond the world. At a time in which nationalism and factionalism are once again on the rise, Peony Dreams ranges across time and space, fiction and reality, history and culture, life and death, to explore a world that lies on the other side of sleep. A play that caused a country to dream, The Peony Pavilion tells the story of a sensitive young woman, Du Liniang, who falls asleep one afternoon in her parents’ peony garden pavilion and dreams of a lover she has yet to meet. Discovering on waking that her beloved does not in fact exist, the woman, unable to bear the news, expires from lovesickness. Before entering the world beyond the world, however, a miraculous series of events helps bring about her rescue. As it happens, a young scholar named Liu Mengmei – who is in fact her dreamed of lover – is passing by the girl’s house on his way to take a government exam. Seeing her portrait on the wall, the scholar declares: “This is the woman I saw in my dreams – this is the woman I will marry!” Informed that she had passed away three years ago, the scholar is despondent; but when her family members bring him to the coffin in which she lies, the girl suddenly awakes from death. The lovers immediately fall in love and live happily ever after. The effect of this work on Chinese history and culture almost cannot be overstated. Epitomizing a deep strain of romantic mysticism within Taoist philosophy, The Peony Pavilion states the case for life as an essential mystery. 2020 SOUTHEAST CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR ASIAN STUDIES New College of Florida | Sarasota, FL DETAILED PROGRAM OF PANELS AND EVENTS FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2020 3 -5 p.m. Board Meeting (ACE 112) 4-7 p.m. Registration (ACE Lounge) 5-7 p.m. Opening Reception (Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Center for Asian Art at The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art) 6-7 p.m. Tour of Chao Center for Asian Art SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2020 Location: ACE Building 7-8:30 a.m. Coffee and Refreshments Location: ACE Lounge SPONSORS AND CONTACT INFORMATION Andrew W.

As always, we enjoy seeing our friends new and old. We continue to highlight the homes’ collections, with many objects original to the houses, as well as their gardens and scenic trails. And of course, having fun at these houses is always encouraged. In this 20th Anniversary year we were also excited to introduce new communication tools to help us spread the word about our mission. Launching a newly designed website with fresh photography, updated information and new scholarship helps to highlight each property and also to make it easier for individuals to learn more about CAHPT and visiting our homes. We also expanded our social media offerings — relying on tools such as Jack Smith, Operations Manager; Dick Jenrette, President and Founder; Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram to quickly inform Margize Howell, Executive Director, at The Metropolitan Museum, our followers of events or happenings at CAHPT. Whether it is The American Wing, October 6th, 2013. through our new website, social media or by phone, we want to hear from you — so please stay in touch!
