After full house shows for the last three years, the New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts is coming back to Canberra, this time with a live orchestra and an all new programme on 21-23 May 2010. The company was previously called Divine Performing Arts. Brilliant. Inspiring. Glorious. Shen Yun Performing Arts presents classical Chinese dance and music in a lavishly colorful and exhilarating show. Its masterful choreography ranges from grand imperial processions to legions of thunderous drums, with gorgeously costumed dancers moving in stunning synchronized patterns. Spectacular visuals take you to another world, with blossoming landscapes and celestial palaces appearing on beautiful animated backdrops. Groundbreaking music seamlessly combines the best of the East and West, giving each dance an unmistakable flair. Ancient legends of virtue and modern tales of courage are brought to life by over a dozen dances and songs, making for one extraordinary, uplifting, and unforgettable experience. The Shen Yun Difference Shen Yun Performing Arts brings together over a hundred of the world’s foremost classically trained dancers, choreographers, and musicians. Based in New York, Shen Yun is independent of China’s political regime and proud to include artists who practice the Falun Gong meditation. It seeks to revive and breathe new life into traditional Chinese culture while providing an experience of sublime beauty. |
