中美綜藝協會(CACPA)應邀出席亞特蘭大動物園

慶祝熊貓美蘭誕生酒會並演出文藝節目

一月二十五日﹐ 亞特蘭大動物園在嚴冬中充滿了暖意﹐ 為慶祝熊貓寶寶美蘭誕生100天召開了盛大慶典酒會﹐感謝贊助和支持熊貓在亞特蘭大落戶的各界人士﹐並同大家分享了幼熊寶寶誕生的萬分喜悅。中美綜藝協會應邀在酒會上演出了具有中國特色的精彩的文藝節目。

當晚六時許﹐嘉賓們紛紛進入酒會大廳﹐嘉賓席中有美國前總統吉米卡特Jimmy Carter﹑夫人和愛孫﹐有亞特蘭大前市長Andrew Young和夫人﹐有來自本地及外州的政界﹑商界等各界捐贈了巨款的贊助商及知名人士以及新聞界電視臺﹑電臺和報社負責人及記者等。在贊助商名單中﹐有僑界熟悉的銀行家余大維﹑商界名人Ted Fang等人。當酒會漸漸進入高潮﹐中美綜藝協會開始向嘉賓們表演﹔一陣鼓樂齊鳴﹐喚出了旗袍舞“吉祥如意”﹐演員們身着華貴端莊的大紅錦繡長旗袍﹐手握有燙金字樣“吉祥如意”的團扇翩翩起舞﹐立刻吸引了觀眾﹐掌聲即起。節目結束後﹐演員們走近卡特總統﹐此時前總統正在同贊助商們交談﹐見到演員們的到來﹐停下交談﹐主動問倒﹕“需要照相嗎﹖”剛說完便主動繞過沙發站到演員們中間同身着中國秀麗長旗袍的中美綜藝協會的演出人員合影留戀。至此﹐酒會已到高潮﹐熊貓館抱出了幼熊寶寶美蘭請大家在館內觀展﹐美蘭純真可愛的形象深受嘉賓們的愛戴。接下來演出繼續進行﹐由亞城知名的雜技演員魏紅娟女士表演雜技“蹬技”﹐其後由美國樂隊演奏名曲。最後一個節目是由中美綜藝協會表演的古典長扇舞“荷塘月色”﹐只見一群身穿粉紅荷花色古典長裙﹑手拿長扇的中國古代仕女們踏着輕柔地舞步飄飄而入﹐似荷花浮水般輕盈﹑飄逸﹐在月光下暇意地旋轉﹐優雅地翻花﹐致使觀眾席中鴉雀無聲﹐嘉賓們看得目不轉睛。中美綜藝協會的舞蹈均由該會的專職舞蹈編導﹑曾任中國浙江省歌舞劇院主要演員的著名舞蹈藝術家王薇編導。王薇編導的成人舞特別表現了中國古典和民間舞蹈藝術的柔美﹑嫵媚和嫻雅﹐其隊形變化活躍﹐動作優美﹐加上由該會負責人岑月蓉親自設計並製作的鮮亮﹑秀美﹑飄逸的古典服裝和頭飾相襯托﹐每個舞蹈都深受美國觀眾歡迎。此間旗袍舞的高貴和窈窕﹐長扇舞的嫺雅和飄柔﹐均令全場美國觀眾全神貫注﹐掌聲此起彼伏﹐十分贊賞。

此次中美綜藝協會的演出陣容精幹﹐由負責人岑月蓉帶領﹐有編導和領舞王薇﹐演員何錦濤﹑陳文靜﹑莫曉梅﹐攝影雷勝利﹐演員家屬揚揚Jenny, 莫莉Patricia Ford 和Skip Ford。此次演出﹐不僅為亞特蘭大動物園增添了光彩﹐中美綜藝協會也借機在美國主流社會為宏揚中國文化和藝術﹐使美國各界人士進一步了解中國作出了積極貢獻。
