CCCS: Chinese New Year 2023 in Dubai

            Colchester Chinese Culture Society were selected to perform in the 9th International Chinese New Year Gala in Dubai, to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit. This prestigious event was held at Dubai Opera House on Saturday 8 January 2023.

Spring Festival, the Chinese Lunar New Year, is regarded as the most significant festival in China. Since the founding of the Spring Festival and Gala of Overseas Chinese in the United Arab Emirates nine years ago, the gold cultural brand of local Chinese has been established. During the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit in 2023, traditional Chinese cultural elements, national characteristics, regional culture, and the splendour of the world’s diverse civilization were showcased.

Nearly 500 overseas international Chinese vividly told Chinese stories and immortalised the great new era at the region’s finest performing arts platform Dubai Opera House, bringing the audience a colourful, joyful, and peaceful visual cultural feast. The event invited us all to celebrate the long-standing friendship between China and the United Arab Emirates and pray for world peace.

Colchester Chinese Culture Society received an invitation to take part in the selection process, and were successful in their submission. 14 dancers went to Dubai to perform on this international stage, traveling alongside Indi Sandhu, ECDP’s Creative Director & CEO, and London based Chinese Choreographer and dance teacher Gong Qiutong, originally from Jiangsu Province. This unique opportunity builds on the positive partnerships CCCS and ECDP have forged, following on from our visit to the Jiangsu Province in China 2018 funded by British Council (China), and this year’s Festival of Tendring and Jiangsu 2022 at Harwich Arts Centre, which was organised by Colchester Chinese Culture Society and supported by Essex Cultural Diversity Project.

Colchester Chinese Culture Society fundraised for the trip from various sources including local business sponsorship, funding and donations.
