- Dec 5, 2008
The Joyce Theater regretfully announces that Jin Xing Dance Theatre will not be presented this season (originally scheduled for January 27 - February 1). Although The Joyce was excited and committed to present this company, the current financial crisis has forced Jin Xing's private sponsors - those responsible for financing this trip to the United States - to withdraw their commitment. And unfortunately, Jin Xing Dance Theatre does not have the financial resources to cover the budget of such an engagement. New dates have not yet been announced.
