Kevin McWilliams, managing director at ITSM Maturity & Implementation Services, said: “I thought it was extremely colorful. It’s very good.”
He said it’s more than just ethnic dances: “It goes back with history; it gives tradition. It gives meaning to lots of the ancient ways of thinking, so it’s really, really good.”
“It was that brilliant because it actually—it brings [the story] to life in a very good dance,” he said. “It was really enjoyable.”
He enjoyed how the ancient legends were told through dance. “They all look beautiful. They look great. They look so colorful, and it’s great.” He said the costumes were “absolutely brilliant.”
Shen Yun is based in New York, and its mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture. Although Shen Yun is helping the world understand more about China through its global tours each season, it is unable to perform in China.
Family Members Enthusiastically Recommend Shen Yun to Patent Attorney
Paul and Catherine Harrison enjoyed many aspects of the performance. Mrs. Harrison, a patent attorney, said, “I love the coordination and the skill that makes it look so effortless.”
Many in the audience express amazement at the animated 3D backdrop that interacts with the characters in the story.
Mr. Harrison said, “The way they used the graphics at the back, it’s quite really clever. People were jumping in and out of the screen. Almost. You don’t even notice they’re doing it. So well-coordinated. So, yes, it’s very good. Lovely.”
“I was surprised, and [the story] is very clear. [The use of the backdrop] makes it very clear,” she said.
This was the first time for Mr. Harrison and he said he had a great time.
Mrs. Harrison said family members have recommended Shen Yun to them. “We’ve been before. My father and my brother have been before, and they recommended it to us.”
