Shanghai-born dancer and notator Wu Jing Shu, known as Lolli, recalls her dance training in Beijing with Soviet ballet teachers such as Pyotr Gusev, and her subsequent performances in the classical repertory and in Chinese ballets such as The red detachment of women. She talks about her studies with Dai Ai-lian, who introduced notation to China, and her own work in translating Labanotation terminology into Chinese. Discussing her present position with the Central Ballet of China, she notes some recent cultural exchanges between China and the west, notably Norman Walker's stagings of In the mountain forest and Romeo and Juliet, and the participation of the Chinese in the second International Congress on Movement Notation (Hong Kong, 1990). Mahoney relates her own experiences teaching jazz and tap dancing in China.
