MEDIA RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 7 December 2006

HVK Productionsand Michael Coppel are delighted to announce that the Shaolin Warriors are

returning to Australia in 2007 with a brand new production.

Shaolin kung-fu is something which you will not only see with your eyes,

but you will also feel with your heart.

Direct from China’s legendary Shaolin Temple, this fully choreographed theatrical production, Shaolin Warriors: Legends of Kung-Fu, brings the remarkable skill, stunning movement, and spectacular imagery of kung-fu to stages throughout Australia from January 2007.

Shaolin Warriors: Legends of Kung-Fu is a unique artistic performance, displaying disciplined spiritualism, stunning movement and deadly martial-arts prowess.

The Shaolin monks train in martial arts for several hours every day, perfecting the art of hand-to-hand and weapons combat. Each monk is required to achieve an extraordinarily high level of proficiency in each of the temple's 18 traditional weapons and to become a master of one.

For more than one thousand years, the Shaolin Temple has been the heart and soul of Chinese Kung-Fu. The Shaolin Monks were men of action ready to defend and men of peace ready to console.

The Shaolin Warriors will tour Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide from January 2007. Please see over page for full tour details.

"... they combine the agility and grace of gymnasts with the showmanship of Cirque du Soleil performers." The Washington Post

"…(for) anyone seeking rip-roaring entertainment with a dab of spiritual enlightenment" The West Australian
