On June 28, 2024, our performance team (more than 30 people in total) came to Silverton Care Community Nursing Home for a loving performance. This nursing home has 160 residents and has a history of nearly 20 years. This performance was helped and connected by Zhang Celiea, which enabled us to actively participate in the spiritual civilization construction of the community and promote Chinese traditional culture.

In order to ensure the success of the performance, the actors started rehearsing three weeks in advance and came from afar and set off more than two hours in advance. On that day, the president and volunteers set up the venue early to ensure the smooth progress of the performance.

Our program is rich and colorful, including 6 dances and 6 band performances, covering instrumental performances, dance performances, singing, catwalks and waist drum performances. The program has both Western music and dances with Chinese characteristics, and the actors’ costumes are bright and uniquely designed. The band played nostalgic songs, allowing the elderly to recall the good times when they were young. The male solo sang the English song “Can’t Help Falling in Love", which resonated with the audience.

The atmosphere was warm and the elderly applauded enthusiastically. Professional and experienced photographer Dr. Longtou captured the beauty of every moment and edited the video overnight. Volunteer Guanghua filmed the complete performance video for everyone. Despite being unwell, the host Wu Ping insisted on completing the hosting task, which was touching.

The performance was a complete success, and the person in charge of the nursing home invited us to perform next time on the spot. They said that the elderly had never seen such a wonderful performance, and everyone was very happy. We will continue to carry forward this love, hold more volunteer performances, and make more contributions to society. Thank you for the invitation of the group members and the hard work of all participants, and look forward to a more exciting performance next time.
Please enjoy the short video of the performance that day.
