Stratford upon avon college hosted in the cultural cafe on the 24th of September a tribute to the yao nationality. The performance was a scene from the upcoming musical movement piece from a group called the Yao Culture. The scene involved singing traditional Yao culture as a choir and a challenge of strength between to men over a pole. They also involved the audience by inviting members of the audience to join one them fighting over it.
The aim of the piece was to advertise the official piece of musical theatre, and to to give people an insight to the musical ways of the Yao culture they tried this using a mixture of song gymnastics and dance. The performance was successful in giving people an insight into the yao tradition. The audience seemed to enjoy it, especially when the cast got them involved, a few people were pushed forward by their friends and every one had a laugh. However the introduction and parts of speaking in between didn't make much sense, it would have been much more enjoyable if they had made it clearer.
