 Jeanine Durning and Cheng-Chieh Yu
Yu is plush and fluid; Durning a fireball of explosiveness.
Durning and Yu were students together at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts; the premise of their collaboration over the weekend was to bring together two performer/choreographers who had developed in dance in distinctly different ways.
Yu exhausts every possible analogy in this precept and her use of an aluminum soda can as a kind of crap-shooting, orifice-filling, teeth-holding container is rather astounding and magical.

 Chinese Idiom
Some believe that those expressions which originated from alien culture should not be considered Chinese cheng yu, for instance, some derived from Buddhism, and "armed to the teeth", "kill two birds with one stone", "use old bottles for new wine", 'a wolf in sheep's clothing" and "eye for eye" (which came from foreign language).
In comparing the definitions of the "idiom" in English and cheng yu in Chinese, we find that they are not exactly the same.
Also, some cheng yu does not have its equivalent in English, so to seek them where there are none is a waste of effort.
