CACN is an annual show at Royce Hall that celebrates Chinese-American culture through a combination of drama in theater and performances of traditional Chinese dance, modern hip-hop, lion dance, and wushu, or Chinese martial arts. The feature presentation is a student-written play featuring an all-student cast spanning many scenes. The scenes are interspersed with performances from student organizations like UCLA Wushu and ACA All Day, giving audience members a view of the full range of Chinese-American students’ passions on campus. CACN has been put on by ACA since 1989 as a longstanding tradition to celebrate Chinese culture here at UCLA.
