Shen Yun
Shen Yun takes you on an extraordinary journey through China's 5000-year-old divinely inspired culture. Exquisite celestial fairies, profound wisdom of past dynasties, timeless legends and ethnic traditions are brought to life through classical Chinese dance, a rousing live orchestra, authentic costumes and patented interactive sets. Experience a time when scholars and artists sought harmony with the Dao, the way of the cosmos, and walked the earth as divine beings to inspire humanity. Join us for an evening of courage and wisdom, light and hope ... Experience Shen Yun! Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world's premier classical Chinese dance and music company. Shen Yun was established in New York in 2006 by elite Chinese artists. They came together with a shared vision and passion—to revive the lost world of traditional Chinese culture and share it with audiences worldwide. Chinese dance is at the heart of what Shen Yun does. Known for its incredible flips and spins, and its gentle elegance, it is one of the most rigorous and expressive art forms in the world. China’s deep cultural traditions are contained in classical Chinese dance, allowing its movements to be richly expressive, such that the personalities and feelings of characters can be portrayed with unparalleled clarity. While folk and ethnic dance might whisk you away to the plains of Tibet or the shores of a Dai village, story-based dances give dramatic portrayal to the cherished dramas and legends of past and present. Figures from 5,000 years of Chinese culture embody the most exalted virtues of Chinese civilization, and convey a message that is still relevant today—such as in the tales of heroine Mulan or general Yue Fei. The Shen Yun Orchestra combines the spirit, beauty, and distinctiveness of Chinese music with the precision, power and grandeur of the Western symphony orchestra. The result—two great traditions producing one refreshing sound. Shen Yun takes musical storytelling to a whole new level. ...
