ORANGE PARK, Fla.—As someone who has worked in theater, Harolyn Sharpe knows about the work that is involved in putting together a production. She expressed her gratitude for what Shen Yun Performing Arts has accomplished.
“It’s just amazing how it all comes together. The theatrical, technical parts, the dance, the costumes, the props, and then the story that’s told with those ingredients. And I was majorly impressed with, what in theater we call the blocking. In dance, you call it the choreography,” said Ms. Sharpe.
“Even at the distance that I was in the auditorium, I could still tell there were lots of facial expressions as well as the physical dance and choreography movement. It was extremely believable,” said Ms. Sharpe.
Ms. Sharpe expressed her gratitude for “the context of the story that was given by the announcer that helps pull us in, as well as some of the context given in the program to look at that ahead of time.”
“I just happen to agree that there is a Creator and that the creation was made through love and care. And that if we, as the created, can accept that divine providence and that divine purpose, what a wonderful world we would have,” Ms. Sharpe said.
“I like the way that when the Creator came, that all the other characters, participants on stage, were accepted and came together,” she said.
“I was also very impressed with the way things moved from live, real stage into the screen depictions and the fluidity between the two. I was very impressed with the technical skills to make that story larger that way, more encompassing that way,” said Ms. Sharpe.
