刘莉和她的Ms-L团队成功运作了无锡市演艺集团歌舞剧院的大型舞剧《绣娘》在英国的巡演。故事表现的是在清末民初,一位江南绣女钟情绣艺、艺高情深的悲情的故事,塑造了一位追求女性解放的近代中国新女性形象.

该剧汇集了国内实力派舞编赵明、“新生代”作曲家邹航、舞美设计师张继文以及服装师李锐等实力派人物,并由汤成龙、张娅姝、刘鑫、米夏等一批优秀青年舞蹈演员倾情演绎。

Liu Li introduced this grand dance drama the Embroidery Girl to UK audiences and toured it in 6 cities in the UK with its latest refined version. It was produced by Chinese State Theatre ——- Wuxi Folk Song and Dance Troupe. Set in the Qing dynasty, the story depicts embroidery Master Xiu Niang’s life, loves and outstanding achievements, against the backdrop of the old rigid and male-dominated society at odds with her epic artistic vision.

Western audiences were captivated by this balletic work, that combined a heady blend of traditional Chinese folk, Classical and Contemporary dance. The show has West-end standards of stage production while retaining a distinctly Chinese feel. Filled with the lingering charm of Jiangsu local culture,  colourful costume and exotic music, sublimely beautiful choreography,  stunning dance skills and striking stage art, it is a real treat for both eyes and ears. 

The production boasts a high calibre cast and crew including : choreographer, Zhao Ming (赵明),  dancer,  Zhang Yashu (张娅姝),  stage designer, Zhang Jiwen (张继文),  composer Zou Hang (邹航) and costume designer Li Ruding (李锐丁).
