Chinese New Year Celebrations Finale 2020

Celebrations for Chinese New Year In Leicester came to a finale on 8th February 2020 with an event in Leicester`s Humberstone Gate,
The event featured arts, workshops, tai chi, Martial Arts Demos and more and ended with a traditional Lion Dance featuring two dragons at the clock tower.
My film aims to capture the atmosphere of the day and features some highlights of the many performers at the event.
Please do not try to replicate the martial arts shown in this video, they are performed here by professionals who have trained for many hours to perfect the art and perform it safely.

Event was created by Amanda Leandro and Cosmopolitan Arts, in partnership with DMU and the Confucius Institute Leicester.
Funded by the Arts Council, Big Lottery and BID Leicester and supported by Leicester City Council.
