Fueled with insatiable desire to introduce classical music to novices, Bob Dawson pulls out all the stops.  Unlike a formal recital, this is a solo piano show hosted and performed by Bob Dawson.  He invites the novice to experience the delights and integrity of classical music with vivid imagery, amusing stories and a profound universal connection that stimulates curiosity about classical music and its place in our world.  (more info)

On Wednesday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m.., The Dixie Center for the Arts, Dr. William and Susan Belsom, and the Ruston/Lincoln CVB are proud to present the very best of the time-honored tradition of Chinese acrobatic art that began more than twenty-five centuries ago. The Golden Dragons are recognized throughout the United States and abroad as the premiere Chinese acrobatic touring company of today. The Golden Dragon Acrobats combine award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes, ancient and contemporary music and theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and spellbinding beauty.

Golden Dragon Acrobats

In November 2005, the Golden Dragon Acrobats made their Broadway debut to a sold out audience at the New Victory Theater, New York's ultimate theater for kids and families. Their Broadway run over the next six weeks led to adoration and standing ovations from audiences of all ages and universal critical acclaim from the New York press. The 2008 tour will mark the 29th year of continuous touring in the United States for the Golden Dragon Acrobats. With the company's main office based in Dallas, TX, the Golden Dragons have traveled around the world to all 50 states and to over 65 countries on five continents. The Golden Dragons remain the only Chinese acrobatic company touring year-round in the United States.

The ancient art of Chinese Acrobatics is an old and long running tradition that began in China well over two thousand years ago. Since these early times, acrobatics have evolved into many forms of performances including dance, opera, martial arts, and sports. However, the impact of Chinese acrobatics goes far beyond the boundaries of performance as it has served an important role in the cultural exchange between China and Western nations including the United States. The citizens of China continue to present their acrobatic art for the world today, as it portrays the hard working nature of their people and sets forth an example of the rich traditions of Chinese culture.

Golden Dragon Acrobats

2008 will mark the highlight of the Golden Dragons' touring career with their 30th anniversary United States tour. The year will also see the company's home nation of China host the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing with the theme slogan "One World One Dream". The reflection of that slogan epitomizes the essence and the universal values of what all of us who love the arts hope to foster -- Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream. The Golden Dragons remind us that we belong to the same world and we share the same aspirations and dreams. Come --- Be a part of the experience of something spectacularly beautiful!

The Golden Dragon Acrobats are being sponsored by
Dr. William and Susan Belsom and
the Ruston/Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau
