Alonzo King's LINES Ballet presented "Long River High Sky (2007)" with the
Shaolin monks of China to create an unprecedented synthesis of Eastern and
Western classical forms. This collaboration represents both a blending of distinct
cultural traditions – ballet and martial arts – and a recognition that these arts of
movement are convergent and intertwined. Website features comprehensive performance
and education information about the Shaolin Monks and their history, philosophy, stories,
art, classes, and press information.
