Cold Mountain is a collection of poetry written by a Chinese mock who appreciate the connection between life and nature. He is a recluse and lives in a mountain for a long while. We find this piece in Chinese and English translation. We also added a Spanish poetry in the performance. It is a merge of everything: culture, language, and technology. Through body movement we can show people what the performers see and what they draw with the paintbrush. There’s a whole big part of improve in this piece which is totally fine. It’s all about ideas and creativities.
Up to now we worked on the tech stuff and reading the poetry with different languages. We also have that short film we shoot in the woods. I like the idea that we project films on actors. We did that last semester two and it turned out very well when actors were moving through those projections and you can see the color changing on them.

Cold Mountain is a whole new different piece than what we did last year. It’s more collective and more freestyle. I should be an interesting show to watch.
