“I can say that the incredible accuracy, every hand position, every arm position was so accurate among all of them. I don’t even know how they could do that,” said Mr. Thompson.
“Very emotional, and extremely accurate. I feel like modern ballet, European style ballet could learn a lot from them,” he added.
“You’ve really felt that compassion. And the feeling that came out, it really was kind of hard to keep it together, but I did. It was really amazing,” Mr. Thompson said.
“This has really helped—picked me up. I really needed to see this show. Including just my music in general, I think it’s going to very inspire a lot of creativity in me,” Mr. Thompson said.
Shen Yun, ‘Very moving, motivating, and inspiring’
Terry Harrison, a general contractor, was also in the audience on March 15. He was impressed with the skill of the dancers and their composure on stage.
The pandemic had been a barrier for many. People have been reluctant to come out to experience everything that life has to offer.
“I think anyone who took themselves out of their comfort zone and came to watch it and be with a crowd of people would leave absolutely having loved it and having felt so glad that they did that. I think it’s very uplifting, very moving, motivating, and inspiring,” said Mr. Harrison.
“We just met someone just a couple of weeks ago—who was a lawyer in China and, and professed to have faith in God. And because of that, they took her everything. Took her house, her finances, her passport,” shared Mr. Harrison. “As I was watching [the performance,] what touched me about it was I saw what she went through. All that stuff was true, everything that they were saying and what they were enacting.”
“I think it was a production that was well put together and that has a lot of meaning. I just so very much appreciate your company putting it on,” he said.
