| Hobby Center for the Performing Arts |
 |
| Bian Dan is based on the Chinese diaspora to the Americas. The bamboo shoulder poles, used to carry heavy loads, are a metaphor for the cultural "burdens" immigrants often bear. The work brings to light the issues of identity as experienced by immigrant families. |
| Featuring HT Chen Dancers and the Houston community area performers |
| H.T. Chen & Dancers is the proud recipient of the 2002 New York State Governor's Award for outstanding arts achievement and contribution to communities across the nation. |
