Seven members of China's famous Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe took part in a cultural exchange project in Australia. They taught acrobatic skills to a group of about 70 Australian performers, including members of two community circuses plus a number of individual performers from across the country. The Chinese party comprised seven acrobats and an interpreter, and was led by Mr Lu Yi, artistic director of the Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe and vice-chairman of the All China Association of Acrobatic Artists.
The Company also toured to the Canberra Theatre (ACT), 13-16 October, 1980.
