Pam has been living in China for five years. She first lived in Xiamen, a beautiftjl island city, which made her fall in love with China. Later, she moved to Shijiazhuang to the north and then Changsha in central China. When Pam received job offers in Shanghai and Shenzhen, she chose to move to Shenzhen, preferring the lifestyle options made possible here by the fair weather, good air quality and proximity to Hong Kong. However, Pam admits that nowadays she does not travel for leisure often, preferring instead to spend her time off enjoying the company of friends she has met through clubs and supporting the goals of these clubs here in Shenzhen.
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.
