On Friday 24th of September some Yao Chinese performers came to Stratford-Upon-Avon to perform a little bit of their act to the students of Stratford College. 

The event started off with the Yao performers singing some cultural songs from China. Then the rest of the Chinese group went off the stage and two men came onto the stage with a green pole and started doing acrobatics. They lifted each other up using the green pole. Then they asked if any of the students would like to come on the stage and have a go at pushing the Chinese men into a wall. One of the students came out of the audience and tried to push one of the Chinese men but he ended up being beaten by the Chinese man. Then another student came out from the audience and tried to push one of the Chinese men and he managed to push the Chinese guy into the audience. TWICE!!

 The audience were shocked at the performance and enjoyed it. The audience got involved in the singing and clapped along with the music. When the two Chinese men came out with the green pole they were a bit weary and also curious about what was going to happen. When the men started to do the acrobats then they really clapped and were really quite impressed by the performance. When the two boys came out of the audience then there friends started cheering them on and got really involved. 

 You could tell that the audience really enjoyed it because there was a buzz afterwards and people were saying bye to the performers. 

  They came over to Stratford to show the people their culture and what they enjoy. I think the students liked their culture and thought about the Chinese the culture more. 

I thought it was good but a bit weird. It made me want to know a bit more about the Chinese culture but not to much. The singing was nice but i enjoyed the acrobatics more, because it was really exciting and it was unusual. They portrayed the culture really well and it must have been hard for them to show their culture to a load of students who didn't have much idea about the Chinese culture. I enjoyed it very much and I would love to find out more about the Yao culture.
