\u00a0A Taste of Vietnam at\u00a0Earth Celebration 2016<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello, everyone. I hope you are all\u00a0keeping well.
\nOn Sado we have been rehearsing for various new productions every day. Preparations are also underway for this year’s Earth Celebration (EC).
\nFor EC 2016, we have invited guest artists from Vietnam to join us for a concert at Kodo Village. I went to Vietnam in February on a field trip to\u00a0prepare for this collaboration.<\/p>\n

When we arrived in Hanoi, it was right around Lunar New Year.<\/p>\n

It was bright and festive, with\u00a0lanterns and Vietnamese flags everywhere.<\/p>\n

We tried a range of local cuisine,<\/p>\n

and enjoyed exchange with an array of local artists.<\/p>\n

We delighted in the\u00a0various similarities and differences between our cultures.<\/p>\n

Immersed\u00a0in the local atmosphere, the week just flew by as we enjoyed local food and local music.<\/p>\n

This trip\u00a0reminded me\u00a0of the importance\u00a0of international exchange, visiting\u00a0new places,\u00a0and experiencing\u00a0other cultures firsthand with local people.<\/p>\n

I hope our Kodo Village Concert at EC 2016 will be an opportunity for us to recreate and share a taste with our audience of the local atmosphere and culture that we experienced in Vietnam.
\nEC 2016 has other unique performances by Kodo members on the lineup, too.
\nWe look forward to seeing everyone on Sado Island this August for EC!<\/p>\n
