End of Semester Show 2019

As the semester came to a close, NYU Shanghai’s classrooms, hallways and performance spaces were filled with students dancing in costume, playing instruments, displaying paintings and photographs, and pitching business ideas as they completed and shared their final course projects. Pictured: Students performing a Korean fan dance titled, “Cranes” at the Fall Dance Concert, Heavenly Bodies, on December 8.

Students caught mid-air during “On The Border,” at the Fall Dance Concert. The show included performances from Ballet, Contemporary, Chinese Minority & Folk, and Choreography & Performance classes with invited guest performances by the NYUSH Chamber Ensemble and Piano.

First year students in English for Academic Purposes (“EAP”) shared their final projects in an End of Semester Show on the 15th floor December 10.

EAP students showed off their English and critical thinking skills with presentations on diverse topics such as smart cities, understanding the news, taking humor seriously, cultivating minds, digital identities in modern public spheres, sustainability, and money.

Part of the student photography exhibition, In Concept, on the 12th floor, “Cliffhanger” by Andrew Califf ’22 tells the visual story of four hikers who traversed Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains of China. In the photos, the hikers re-enact their expressions on the trail as strong winds and a storm approached them.
