December Newsletter The Teahouse is Open For Dinner! At The Ringling Museum Exhibition: Splendid Treasures of the Turkomen Tribes from Central Asia April 24, 2010 - January 30, 2011 The Turkomen tribes of Central Asia live in a harsh and arid physical environment, yet the beauty of their ornamentation reflects their rich spiritual beliefs and customs.  The Turkomen tribes migrated with the seasons, reflecting the necessities of pasturing their livestock and protecting themselves from the elements.  A nomadic lifestyle meant that wealth had to be easily portable, so richly decorated jewelry crafted from precious metals and semi-precious stones met their social, spiritual and economic needs.

Field Trip to The Morikami Museum Thursday, March 17th, 2011 Join The Teahouse at Asian Arts as we visit the Morikami Museum. Since its opening in 1977, The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been a center for Japanese arts and culture in South Florida, with rotating exhibitions in its galleries, tea ceremonies performed monthly in its Seishin-an tea house, an educational outreach program with local schools and organizations, and Japanese traditional festivals celebrated for the public several times a year. Visit The Morikami Website Playing at Burns Court Right Now Mao's Last Dancer Review By MIKE HALE "Mao's Last Dancer" is the story of a young and flexible Chinese man who comes to America, where he's seduced by disco, creative freedom and a honey-haired Houston virgin, and decides to stay. Amanda Schull plays a Texan and Chi Cao a recent arrival from China in "Mao's Last Dancer," directed by Bruce Beresford. It's also about ballet and the modern history of China, as embodied in the true story of the dancer Li Cunxin, whose autobiography (from which the film takes its title) was a major best seller in Australia. But grands jetés and the Cultural Revolution are just exotic window dressing in "Mao's Last Dancer," which is, at heart, nothing more than an old-fashioned tear-jerker.
