从旧金山唐人街到伦敦中国城，一场跨越世代与国界的亚裔艺术盛宴即将在伦敦华人社区中心上演！
这场特别活动汇聚了来自不同世代、文化背景与国家的亚裔表演者，呈现多元而精彩的艺术交流：
活动将以杨圆圆导演的纪录片《女人世界》的放映拉开帷幕。影片聚焦旧金山唐人街的华裔老年女性舞者，讲述她们重返舞台、串联散落世界各地华人社区的动人旅程。
放映结束后，纪录片中的旧金山都板街舞团成员将与来自伦敦的华人摇摆舞社群“麒麟摇摆”共同带来舞蹈表演。
紧接着，我们将迎来一场特别对谈：活跃于英国艺术舞台四十余年的日本艺术家、Frank Chickens 乐队创始人 Kazuko Hohki，将与纪录片导演杨圆圆及都板街舞团成员展开对话，分享她们在艺术与多重身份之间穿梭的经验与思考。
随后，杨圆圆将现场签售她的新书《她乡舞曲》。该书结合纪录片《女人世界》及她拍摄的五部海外华人题材短片，不仅延展了影像的故事，也开启了另一种叙事的可能。
最后，伦敦的华人摇摆舞社群“麒麟摇摆Kirin Swing”将为我们带来一场摇摆舞工作坊，在经典爵士乐《Chinatown, My Chinatown》的旋律中，我们将共同学习这套欢快的编舞，零基础友好。
机会难得！欢迎你和我们在她乡共舞。

From San Francisco’s Chinatown to London’s Chinatown, an intergenerational and cross-cultural celebration of Asian performers is coming to the London Chinese Community Centre!
This special event brings together Asian performers from different generations, cultural backgrounds, and countries for an evening of rich and exciting exchange:
We begin with a screening of Chinatown Cha-Cha, a documentary by director Luka Yuanyuan Yang. The film follows a group of elderly Chinese American dancers from San Francisco’s Chinatown as they return to the stage and reconnect fragmented Chinese communities across the globe through dance.
After the screening, members of the Grant Avenue Follies—featured in the documentary—will join London-based Chinese swing dance group Kirin Swing for a live performance.
This will be followed by a special conversation featuring Kazuko Hohki—Japanese artist and founder of the legendary band Frank Chickens, who has been active in the UK for over 40 years. She will be joined by director Luka Yuanyuan Yang and members of the Grant Avenue Follies to share reflections on their experiences as Asian women performers navigating identities and artistic spaces in a foreign land.
After the talk, Luka Yuanyuan Yang will be signing copies of her new book Dance in Herland, a publication that expands on Chinatown Cha-Cha and five of her other short films about the Chinese diaspora, offering fresh narratives beyond the screen.
Finally, Kirin Swing(London-based Chinese swing dance community) will lead a dance workshop. Dance to the classic tune Chinatown, My Chinatown as we learn this cheerful routine together! This beginner-friendly session welcomes all to experience the joy of swing jazz.💃🏻
Don’t miss this unique chance to dance with us and celebrate stories of diaspora, resilience, and joy.
Time: 4.23 WED 10:45-13:45
*Admission begins at 10:25. The film will start promptly at the scheduled time. Please ensure your arrival by 10:40. If you're just joining us for the swing workshop, please arrive by 1pm.
