JACQUES D'AMBOISE IN CHINA: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
A chronicle of ballet legend and dance instructor Jacques d'Amboise's efforts to stage a cross-cultural performance featuring young dancers from the U.S. and Shanghai, including virtuoso Dou Dou Huang. Directed by Anthony Avildsen.
Jacques d'Amboise is a celebrated figure in the world of ballet, renowned not only for his illustrious career as a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet but also for his deep commitment to arts education. This documentary captures his inspiring journey as he embarks on an ambitious project to unite young talent across continents, fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding through the universal language of dance.
The film provides a unique lens into the creative process behind producing a cross-cultural ballet performance, highlighting both the challenges and triumphs that arise when blending different artistic traditions and teaching styles. By bringing together dancers from the United States and Shanghai, the project emphasizes the global nature of modern dance and the shared passion that transcends geographical boundaries.
Among the featured performers is Dou Dou Huang, a virtuosic dancer known for her technical prowess and expressive artistry. Her inclusion symbolizes the exceptional talent present in Shanghai's dance community and serves as a bridge between Eastern and Western ballet traditions.
Director Anthony Avildsen, known for his sensitive storytelling and visual style, carefully documents this endeavor with an eye toward capturing both the emotional depth and the technical rigor involved. The film not only celebrates the beauty of ballet but also sheds light on the importance of cultural collaboration in the arts.
Key themes explored in the film include:
Cultural Exchange: How dance serves as an international language that fosters understanding and connection between young artists from different backgrounds.
Mentorship and Education: Jacques d'Amboise's dedication to nurturing the next generation of dancers through innovative teaching methods and personal encouragement.
Artistic Collaboration: The creative challenges and rewards of merging diverse styles and techniques into a cohesive performance.

Overall, Jacques d'Amboise in China: The Other Side of the World stands as a testament to the power of art to break down barriers and inspire collaboration across oceans. It is a compelling watch for anyone interested in dance, cultural exchange, or the transformational impact of mentorship.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
