The 30th Lunar New Year Festival (LNYF) performance graced Edison Theatre last weekend to sold-out crowds. The culmination of a year’s worth of planning and practices, this year’s “Boundless Horizons” show celebrated the Year of the Horse. The performance featured 11 performances of Eastern and Southeastern Asian arts, including Tinikling, Lion Dance, Taekwondo, Wushu, Yoyo, and much more. This year, the student-run production partnered with the Ferguson-based nonprofit EarthDance, an organic farm that brings local produce and agricultural knowledge closer to St. Louis.
