Lost Techniques, Highest Realm

Millennia-old dance methods revived and put to the test at the 10th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition

NEW YORK, NY, USA, August 24, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — In recent years, the ancient art form of classical Chinese dance has won the world over and shot to new levels of popularity and interest. A key reason for this has been the revival mission of New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts, whose artists have pioneered the use of lost skills in dance.

Now, aspiring classical Chinese dancers from around the globe will put their skills to the test at the 10th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition. Over 100 top dancers will join this event at the Performing Arts Center of Purchase College in New York, with the chance to demonstrate their understanding of this classical Chinese dance, one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world, to a panel of judges that includes Shen Yun artists and alumni.

The semi-finals, finals, and awards ceremony of the competition are open to the public. In addition, the events will live broadcast on NTD’s TV network, and live stream online. Details could be found on the competition website.

LOST TECHNIQUES, HIGHEST REALM
Throughout history, dancers of every kind have been seeking the techniques to create the longest body lines for grand movements. To achieve this goal, the ultimate techniques are summarized as “shen-dai-shou, kua-dai-tui” (translated as “body leads hands and hip leads legs”), which were passed down for thousands of years in classical Chinese dance but become entirely lost at present time.

This is why dancers today don’t know about it except those fortunate few who have the privileges to study under Mr. D.F, the distinguished professor of classical Chinese dance at the Fei Tian College (www.FeiTian.edu). Mr. D.F. is well known as the world-renowned Artistic Director of SHEN YUN Performing Arts. The NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition is the only dance competition in the world where one can find this lost ancient technique.  

CLASSICAL CHINESE DANCE
Passed down and refined over thousands of years, classical Chinese dance is one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world. It is also one of the most expressive and dynamic forms of art.

There are four essential components of classical Chinese dance: form, bearing, dance technique, and tumbling technique. Over the years, these techniques have been borrowed by other art forms, and are, surprisingly, more widely recognized by names given from gymnastics or martial arts. But in actuality, these movements all originate from classical Chinese dance. 

Classical Chinese dance is distinct from ballet or modern dance. It is also different from the techniques and movements in Chinese opera, or set movements in martial arts, and judges will be looking for understanding and mastery of authentic classical Chinese dance.

AWARDS
The competition will award dancers in four divisions: adult male, adult female, junior male, and junior female. Each division will include awards of Gold Award, Silver Award, Bronze Awards, and Honorable Mentions.

THE COMPETITION
The 10th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition is one in a series of international cultural and arts events hosted by New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television. It will launch a new era in classical Chinese dance by fostering cultural exchange, making this ancient Chinese culture renowned throughout the world and promoting purely authentic traditional dance that is pure goodness, and pure beauty.

36% of Japan’s 14 million youth 18 years and under are gamers

SILICON VALLEY, CA, USA, August 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Niko Partners, the world’s leading market research firm covering video games and esports in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, today announced the results of its latest findings on Japan’s youth gamers. Insights from the research show that 46% of Japanese gamers aged 16-18 and 67% of parents of Japanese youth aged 6-18 believe that it is parents who should be in charge of supervising children’s gaming time, not government. As gaming is considered a national pastime in the country, where gaming has a rich history, most Japanese parents in our survey have a favorable view towards gaming.

“Our report looks closely at the gaming behavior of Japan’s youth and the parental opinions about playing all types of video games,” said Lisa Hanson, CEO and founder of Niko Partners. “We found that foreign game titles, esports, and game livestreaming are much more popular among Japan youth than among older gamers, who historically have gravitated to domestic IP. There is an opportunity for non-Japanese gaming companies to expand and increase their presence in Japan, as the country’s youth gamers is a potential market on its own.”

Key takeaways from this report include:
• Most youth gamers play on console (72%) followed by mobile (64%) and then PC (15%). Parents favor consoles due to increased visibility and control over gaming content compared to other platforms.

• Youth gamers play an average of 8 hours per week on mobile, compared to 6.5 hours on PC and console.

• Japanese youth are more receptive than adult gamers to foreign game titles, esports, game livestreaming, and VTubers. Nearly 46% of Japanese youth are drawn into esports and competitive games, compared to 12% of overall Japanese gamers.

• Premium games still play a large role in Japan, primarily due to the popularity of consoles, and are the most popular individual purchase made by youth gamers.

• Parents of Japanese youth are generally accepting of video games as a means of entertainment and are more likely to be gamers themselves.

• The majority of both parents and youth in general believe that control over children’s game time should be managed by each family, rather than by the government or game companies, with 70% of parents and 46% of youth agreeing with this.

Niko Partners surveyed more than 300 parents of youth gamers aged 6-18 and more than 90 gamers aged 16-18 for this report. We also conducted interviews with parents, teachers, and industry experts while complementing our research and analysis with publicly disclosed data of related institutions and insights from other Niko’s reports and services. The Japan Youth Gamers Report offers recommendations for companies looking to tap into the Japan youth gamers market.
