In celebration of the Chinese New Year : The year of the Pig. Lakeside Arts Centre, near the University of Nottingham, provided a stage for some great acts.
The Dragon dance, the Lion dance, music, assorted acrobats, Kung Fu display and many school kids, getting involved. There was singing from the Nottingham Chinese School Choir. The grand finale, a fabulous firework display over the lake.
Yesterday, [On Saturday afternoon], various acts performed in the Market Square, Nottingham. Moving on to perforn in The Square, in Beeston town centre.
I so enjoyed these performances, such colour, fun, and exuberance. ..... wicked! A proper sence of culture and identity
As ever, the dragon dance was performed by members of the Nottingham Chinese Students Association and Nottingham Chinese Community Association. And jolly goo dthey are at it too!

The Rothschilds & current bankers say to one another the best money is to be made whilst blood is on the streets.
Well f@@k you corporate assholes!, Mutual aid is a factor of evolution as an evolutionary anarcho scientist once said, truth is revolutionary another & if we can't dance it aint my revolution said Emma Goldman, as the IWW organised the biggest workers resistance in USA history, making Wall street sweat.
Many of USA IWW revolutionaires were migratory workers, just like many protestors of recent workers against the world bank & G8.Many workers in China today seem to be migratory & there are peasant uprisings happening regularly.
The G8 does not include china & it seems unlikely that it will in the near future. Top corporate supranational oligarchic organisations that in the long term pull the strings do not include chinese companies in their triad of european, american & asian power.
