AUSTIN, TexasIt was reality mixed with spirituality and fantasy to some extent. All of that mixed together, said Mr. Roy Bohrer after seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Long Center for Performing Arts in Austin Thursday night. <\/p>\n
Before retiring, Mr. Bohrer served as the executive director of several professional non-profit associations in Austin, from sectors ranging from roofing contractors to speech pathologists to criminal justice. <\/p>\n
Mr. Bohrer said watching New York-based Shen Yuns performance gave him a better understanding of traditional Chinese culture. He was touched by the spirituality of the culture that came through the performances and found it meaningful. <\/p>\n
I have not seen a performance like this. I have not seen this before nor anything like it, Mr. Bohrer said. <\/p>\n
Classical Chinese dance and ethnic and folk dances bring the audience from region to region of China, showing many of the 55 ethnicities throughout the country. In addition, stories are depicted through dance from every time period. <\/p>\n
Through music and dance, Shen Yun seeks to revive the Chinese peoples belief in virtue and faith in the divine, which is the heart and soul of the culture, according to its website. <\/p>\n
I thought it was really nice, really really nice. It was beautiful, it was inspiring, meaningful, all of those things, Mr. Bohrer said. <\/p>\n
Another audience member touched by the revival of the divinely inspired culture was Ms. Anita Dodio, a senior software manager in Austin. <\/p>\n
I think its something thats unique, Ms. Dodio said. It is something you feel, at heart. Its not simple entertainment. <\/p>\n
