As part of the ICR portion of this class, I am volunteering with the Indiana Association for Chinese Americans (IACA). This weekend, I have been a volunteer for the IACA at the International Festival. Kwan, one of the people from the IACA we have been working with has met with us a few times before the festival in order to tell us what we would be doing. During one of the first meetings, he told us that he wanted a couple of us (us being those working with the IACA) to learn the Lion Dance, the theme for the booth at the Festival. Hearing that we were going to be apart of various performances at the festival, I was a little hesitant to sign up, because I knew that me performing a dance, or anything really, was not going to look very good as I am not very coordinated. But come the first performance on Thursday afternoon, it was only me and\u00a0 Will volunteering at the time. When we got there we talked with Kwan and Eric about the performance. Kwan said that he and Eric would be on the drums and that Will and I could waive the IACA flags around the stage to add some visual interest to the show. Before the show, Will and I were able to walk around the festival and look at all the different booths. We were also able to try some of the food that was offered, but we did have to find a booth that took a card which not all of them did. Right before the performance, we all changed into gold pants and black t-shirts and Kwan helped tie sashes around us so that we all matched. The performance went pretty well, but there were not many people at the festival during the afternoon as most of the schools had left and other people were probably still working. Being in the performance was actually kind of fun but Will and I could not stay long after as we had to get back to campus for class, but we did help Kwan and Eric set up and tear down the stage for our performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
