During her four-day visit, Liu will <br /> conduct 10 educational performances, reaching mostly PreK-61 graders in Orange County. Liu has been <br /> performing acrobatics since the age of six and has performed all over the world. Her award-winning <br /> performances take students on a high-energy journey through the varied customs and traditions of <br /> Chinese culture, showcasing lively acrobatic acts dances, and interactive activities for the audience. <br /> Through her work Liu aims to awaken awareness of different cultures as well as creating interest and <br /> pride in students' own cultural backgrounds. We hope her visit to our community will not only provide a <br /> unique experience to area youth but will also generate respect among all students for people who may be <br /> different from themselves. Support from the Orange County Arts Commission would help to support the <br /> artist fee to bring this performer to our community and make these opportunities possible. <br /> Questions?
