UNIVERSITY PARK, Ill.—John Huston, trial lawyer in Chicago, was delighted by Shen Yun at the Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University in Illinois on April 26.
“Precision, grace, humanity, beauty—it’s all there,” said Huston.
Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company. Along with folk dances and solo performances, the production depicts story-based pieces that tell tales from ancient times to the present.
China was once known as “The Land of the Divine” and Shen Yun presents this culture by drawing upon the Middle Kingdom’s Buddhist and Daoist philosophies. The performance often includes spiritually uplifting messages, according to the company’s website.
