DRIPPIN : Future Fluid Ancient Aesthetic
DRIPPIN' Future Fluid Ancient Aesthetic
w/ CulCha Collective
An Immersive Art & Music Performance
Wednesday, April 29th at Dragon Tea Temple
Doors Open 6:30pm
Ceremony Begins 7:00pm
Ubud tastemakers and tea connoisseurs, the CulCha Collective, takeover the tea table for a night of puerh drip and ceremonial performance. Step back in time to ancient China and the tradition of “tea art”, where sages and scholars gathered around the tea pot to indulge their senses. They drank fine tea in an exceptional atmosphere, sharing cultural conversation while absorbed in the finest music and dance performances.
This art-form lives on in the CulCha Collective - with a modern twist. The old instruments have become NRYN’s turntables, the ancient poetry reimagined in Cappy Franti’s hiphop lyrics, and the calligraphy has morphed into graffiti. Tea-master Faye Jie steps from behind the tea table to exhibit the traditional dance of China, remixed with kung fu from the city streets. Special guest artists join to share their hiphop medicine and cultural flavors.
The wise ones gather to both witness and express, therefore this is more than just a show. DJ sets and dance sessions give everyone the opportunity to share their inspiration, and the Tea Chi tea lounge grounds participants in comfort and conversation throughout the evening.

Their vision is to co-create a new spiritual culture each time they gather, a culture that can unite people across any perceived division. Their intimate Speakeasy Sessions began during the pandemic, bringing a refined-yet-stylized way to commune with the community using tea and music. Their visionary hip-hop explorations in the Tea Lounge Remixed are unique beyond possible replication, and their zen-style Quan Yin Tea Temple events present live guqin, Chinese poetry, and traditional Chinese dance.
