Shaolin Warriors
(Washington Performing Arts Society)
Thursday, October 22, 2009
The skill, movement and imagery of the Chinese art of kung fu comes to Fairfax this weekend. The performers are disciples of the Shaolin schools who combine agility, grace and martial-arts talents. They've trained from a very young age in mental and physical discipline, so expect to see very cinematic -- but very real -- feats by these peaceful warriors. A discussion will take place 45 minutes before each show in the Grand Tier Lobby.
Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 4 p.m. George Mason University, Center for the Arts Concert Hall, 4400 University Dr., Fairfax. 703-993-2787, 888-945-2468 or
