If you’re going to be in New York in July, you can come hear Cai speak in person.  He’s taking part in a discussion with choreographer (and friend) Shen Wei about their careers since moving to the States from China and what it was like working on the Beijing Olympics.

 

It’s going to be hosted by Geoff Fowler, the Hong Kong correspondent who covered the Olympics for the Wall Street Journal.

 On Tuesday night we hosted a party to celebrate the opening of the final stop of the retrospective and to thank all our friends and colleagues from New York, Beijing, and Bilbao.  We even had live music (jazz trio) on our patio…a big first for us.
