The dance drama Blue and White: Impression of China, produced and performed by artists of the China Oriental Performing Arts Group, was performed from Aug 16 to 18 at Beijing's Poly Theatre.

Inspired by the qingbai (blue and white) porcelain of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), which is known for its delicate beauty and characterized by its translucent glaze and intricate designs, the production features a combination of classical Chinese dance and contemporary movements. It tells a story about a young man from the Song Dynasty who travels from northern to southern China to learn the skills of making qingbai porcelain.
