We want to support connection and build trust despite not being in the same room. In seeking a solution, we decided to create an online festival to expand the reach of performances to new audiences from both countries. It is to show how arts and culture, while it can\u2019t find a cure for the challenges we are facing at the moment, will play an important role in bringing people together, and helping our societies recover, allowing them to forge greater trust and understanding between people.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6118\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6118\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6118\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-2_Samsara_Aakash-Odedra-Company-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Samsara_Aakash Odedra Company\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-2_Samsara_Aakash-Odedra-Company-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-2_Samsara_Aakash-Odedra-Company-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Samsara by the Aakash Odedra Company<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>What are the main aims of the festival?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China presents a huge opportunity for the UK creative industries, and the UK must continue to actively showcase and build new audiences to grow demand. Through this digital festival, we want to celebrate and showcase the vibrant cultural and creative talent from both countries to allow more people to see, experience, and appreciate it. We want to inspire and develop increased interest among Chinese audiences in UK arts and culture; refresh and challenge audience\u2019s perceptions of the UK, and build trust in the audience of the UK and support prosperity and security around the world.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What have you learned about creativity whilst putting this festival together?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of our ongoing connection in the creative industries between the UK and China, I think that we are all now in a new landscape, as we operate in a more digital way. This is why we are having an online culture festival (from 1 -21 October) \u2013 it\u00a0creates an online platform for cultural and creative exchange.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would really like to see more of these creative collaborations between China and the UK going forward. If we can have more artists from the UK and artists in China digitally collaborating, that\u2019s something we\u2019re looking to do through a digital campaign like #ConnectedByCreativity. It\u2019s previously been running in an offline way, where artists in China could meet with artists in the UK and vice versa. And so now we are looking to develop a digital version of connections, through culture, where we\u2019re creating an online space for artists in the UK to collaborate with artists in China digitally and to share ideas together with a view that they may produce new work or can\u2019t produce new work together, and with the view that later when travel restrictions are lifted, that those artists may then actually visit each of those countries and work on something further and bigger together.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We\u2019re creating an online space for artists in the UK to collaborate with artists in China digitally and to share ideas together with a view that they may produce new work<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>What programmes are you most excited\u00a0to see?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_6117\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6117\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6117\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Donnie Duncan in SLBB_Photo by Marne van Opstal_CBD Ltd_4\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-1536x926.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-2048x1235.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Donnie-Duncan-in-SLBB_Photo-by-Marne-van-Opstal_CBD-Ltd_4-1-1920x1158.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6117\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Donnie Duncan in the Swan Lake Bath Ballet. Photo by Marne van Opstal<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are really impressed by the cohesive cooperation between Chinese and British artists. For example, Samsara is the new production of Aakash Odedra Company which we are going to showcase in <em>#ConnectedByCreativity\u00a0<\/em>this week. It\u2019s a choreographic and performance collaboration between Aakash Odedra (UK\/India) and Hu Shenyuan (China). Samsara draws upon their personal spirituality and the vast histories, philosophies and cultures of the ancient neighbouring civilisations of China and India. We would love to have more choreographers from China collaborating with British choreographers producing new works together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another vivid example is the Swan Lake Bath Ballet. Set to Tchaikovsky\u2019s famous swan theme, 27 elite ballet dancers from renowned dance companies perform a modern-day Swan Lake from their own home baths. Award-winning choreographer Corey Baker worked with dancers across the globe to choreograph and film the Swan Lake Bath Ballet completely remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic. We think it is a very persuasive example of how artists can work together despite the travel restrictions for all of us.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information visit the British Council <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishcouncil.cn\/en\/ccu\/ConnectedByCreativity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ConnectedByCreativity website<\/a> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month sees the launch of #ConnectedByCreativity \u2013 an online festival for cultural exchange between China and the UK.
