Q&A
Anything interesting about the performing arts scene in Shenzhen?
M: The performing arts scene in Shenzhen is so new and eclectic, as opposed to the " established " scenes in older cities. Even though there are many advantages to having a longer tradition of the arts, in many cities this eventually results in a form of staleness. In city X the "veterans" of the art community have developed style Y as the style of that city, and that is not only their pride but pretty much the boundaries you should color in as a new artist. Or, like in Amsterdam, there is a " been there, seen that" attitude to performing arts, even though what you are doing is truly new. In Shenzhen, there are no veterans, no decades-old established groups as such, but instead the very definition of a cultural melting pot, from Chinese and international artists, resulting in not only the most interesting mash-ups of art but also a very receptive, open community and audience.
