DESCRIPTION:Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet in Collaboration with the Shaolin Monks. Music 
 performed live by Melody of China\n\nMay 28-June 1, 2008\nLong River High 
 Sky\n\nWith utter calm and fierce precision, the dancers of LINES ballet 
 and the Shaolin monks of China 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 
 recognition that these arts of movement are convergent and 
 intertwined.\n\n-"Watching these two groups together, kung fu begins to 
 look more like art for its own sake, and ballet like self defense, and you 
 begin g to wonder if perhaps both are fighting forms after all--fighting 
 for a life of truth and beauty that all humans crave." - San Francisco 
 Chronicle\n\nIn addition to the seven performances, the season will feature 
 a number of\nspecial events including a pre-curtain discussion with the 
 Shaolin monks on\nMay 29, a post-performance conversation with Alonzo King 
 on May 30, and\npre-performance family activities before the Saturday, May 
 31 matinee.\n \nFor more information, please see the attached document or
