WITS 25th Anniversary: Li Cunxin

Start: November 5, 2009 - 6:15pm

An Evening of Memory, Story, and Power

In celebration of their 25th anniversary, WITS invite you to join them for a special event on November 5, 2009 at 7:00 PM at the Junior League of Houston. Li Cunxin will return to Houston where he made history as the former principal dancer at the Houston Ballet. The fascinating story of his life is recorded in his memoir, Mao's Last Dancer, and has recently been brought to life on the big screen in a new major motion picture of the same title.

In many ways Li Cunxin is the perfect person to speak on behalf of WITS. Just as Li told his powerful life story in his memoir, WITS encourages and teaches thousands of children every year to tell their own stories in their own voices. WITS empowers Houston children so that many more powerful stories can be told.
