BIRMINGHAM, UK—Shen Yun Performing Arts captivated the audience at the ICC Birmingham, Hall 1 on Jan. 5. Hospital director Emily Montgomery and her friend Sue, who works in IT, enjoyed the stories, music, dancing, and culture presented by Shen Yun. Sue said that her friends had seen Shen Yun and had recommended that she see it.
Ms. Montgomery said she liked it all. “All of it, to be honest. It’s the synchronization of the dances. But I like the music as well.”
Sue said she liked everything in the performance, especially how harmoniously the production works together. “It’s very clever. It’s very synchronized. I love the dancing and the music.
“It’s also interesting to learn about culture,” she added.
Shen Yun’s goal is to remind people of the goodness and glory of China’s 5,000 years of divinely inspired traditional culture and share with the world “China before communism.”
Audience Member Feels Energized by Shen Yun’s Performance
Mr. Chatter said, “The whole show itself was very good. I’m lost for words. I was very impressed.”
Ms. Tugnet said she was energized by seeing Shen Yun. “I feel really good. I feel like I need to go and do some exercising to get the flexibility that they have.”
“It’s very impressive, and I really enjoyed the way they put the whole story together,” she said.
Ms. Tugnet said she liked the history of the show, although she had never delved into Chinese history before. “I’ve always thought that. China as it stands now is what I know.”
Mr. Chatter agreed. “Eye-opener. Very good eye-opener.”
A dance that stood out for Ms. Tugnet was the Tibetan dance. “It was quite powerful.”
The animated backdrop interacting with the performers reminded Ms. Tugnet of the English weather. “The backdrop was lovely. It’s very suited to the English weather at the moment with the snow.”
Shen Yun Performing Arts is now touring its all-new 2025 production to over 200 cities across five continents, and this proves to be its most engaging ever.
