*Chinese Puppet Theatre to Perform at Index School in Index, WA*

*Northwest Heritage Resources*, in partnership with the *Index Historical
Society Pickett Museum*, is pleased to present a performance by traditional
*Chinese rod puppet theatre, Dragon Art Studio, on Saturday, November 10,
2012*.  The performance is scheduled for *2:00pm* and will take place at
the *Index School, 436 Index Ave., Index, WA*.

Dragon Art Studio performs traditional Chinese folk tales and other stories
with traditional Chinese rod puppets that are hand-crafted by the
puppeteers.  Before coming to America, Zhengli Xu and his wife and fellow
performer, Yuqin Wang, were both leading puppeteers with the famous China
Puppet Art Troupe for more than 30 years.  When Xu and Wang came to Oregon
in 1996 they formed their own puppet theatre – Dragon Art Studio.  They
have performed all over the world, and in 2004 they were honored by the
National Endowment for the Arts with a National Heritage Fellowship, the
highest honor our nation gives to folk and traditional artists.  Audiences
of all ages – adults and children alike – find their performances magical
and enchanting.

Suggested admission donation is $5.00, with proceeds supporting the Index
museum's programs. No advance ticket sales.  The November 10th performance
is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Washington
State Arts Commission and Northwest Heritage Resources.  Presented by
Northwest Heritage Resources in partnership with the Ethnic Heritage
Council and the Index Historical Society.
