New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s top classical Chinese dance company, and Ms. Siglow felt the kindness and goodness of the human heart come out through this dance.
Ms. Siglow is the deputy director of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to foster “increased awareness of the life, career, values, and legacy of America’s 38th President” through events and activities that “promote the high ideals of integrity, honesty, and candor” that defined Ford’s public service.
Ms. Siglow felt similar universal values and virtues coming through in the performance.
“Oh my gosh, it was just uplifting, joyous. And I would say heartfelt,” she said. “You just feel the goodness of other people.”
When she saw the imagery of heavenly beings, “I would call them angels,” she felt “uplifted, very uplifted.”
She thought, “all things are possible if you believe.”
“We all need hope. And so I think if you listen to the words and you really hear them and bring them into your mind that anything is possible,” she said.
