Drippin' by CulCha Collective
Step back in time to ancient China and the tradition of “tea art”, where sages and scholars gathered around the tea pot to indulge their senses. They drank fine tea in an exceptional atmosphere, sharing cultural conversation while absorbed in the finest music and dance performances.
This art-form lives on in the CulCha Collective - with a modern twist. The old instruments have become NRYN’s turntables, the ancient poetry reimagined in Kamau Abayomi’s hiphop freestyles, and the calligraphy has morphed into graffiti. Tea-master Faye Jie steps from behind the tea table to exhibit the traditional dance of China, remixed with kung fu from the city streets.
