If you have found this page, you are probably attending (or have attended, depending on when you read this) the launch party of Andrew Dougherty's parody rap album, – The Redprint: Rhyme and Reason in the Riddle Kingdom ，which Ping Pong Productions helped to organize and promote.

At the event, you recieved a bag of Ping Pong coffee, and scanned the QR code to get here.  

Please enjoy the coffees, and if you'd like to purchase any online, you can find Alison's Ping Pong Coffee here at this link to our Tao Bao shop.  

So... why Ping Pong Coffee?  

Well first and foremost, because Alison loves coffee. Do you really need another reason?  

If you do need a second reason, then just know that Arabica Roasters supports the arts, and we love modern dance, and so we try our best to show our support of all of Alison's events in China (yes, we know, tonight's event isn't really modern dance, however, we really like Andrew's stuff, both the rap and his writing on economics, and since Alison is involved also, we jumped at the opportunity to support the event).  

And finally, we firmly believe that just like the arts bring people together, so does coffee!  You can find out more about Ping Pong's philosophy on how ther arts bring people together, and why Alison chose the name Ping Pong for her company, below in the introduction to Ping Pong Productions.

Ping Pong Productions Introduciton:

I am certain that after the dust of centuries
has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered
not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics
but for our contributions to the human spirit.

Bringing China and the world together through the performing arts

Ping Pong Productions (PPP) is the leading non-profit cultural-exchange organization whose mission is to bring China and the world together through the performing arts. PPP knows that experiencing the creativity of another culture is the most direct way to glimpse the heart and soul of its people.

Through the arts, we can dispel our preconceptions and experience our shared humanity.

To achieve that end, PPP identifies, nurtures, and produces the works of both emerging and established artists, bringing productions to audiences worldwide. Our performances and education activities have toured more than 50 countries on five continents, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore, Bangalore, Montreal and New York City, to such stages as the Sydney Opera House, Lincoln Center Festival, Théâtre de la Ville, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Since its founding, Ping Pong Productions has brought more than 500 performances, master classes, discussions, residencies and symposia to audiences, students, corporate events and communities worldwide. PPP toured the first two American theater companies to perform at China's National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, including Oscar-winner Tim Robbins and his L.A.-based company The Actors’ Gang.

PPP runs a thriving education outreach program touring American and other international artists to schools, universities, and community centers located in 20+ cities throughout China. PPP's education programs are often the first time Chinese students meet an American, and the first time American performers visit Chinese schools. In 2016, we launched our pilot program bringing Chinese artists to schools in the United States.

By transcending boundaries through the arts, we foster a more peaceful world. Our programs advance dialogues between nations at grass-root and government levels.
