DETROIT—It was truly a transcendental experience when friends Cristen Colleen and Apryl Edwards watched Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Detroit Opera House.
New York-based Shen Yun was fulfilling its mission of reviving China’s traditional culture by presenting a repertoire of story-based dances and music.
It was not the first time that Ms. Edwards had seen Shen Yun and every time it has been an amazing, energizing experience, she said. Ms. Edwards is a video editor and owner of Spring Flix Media.
“And I’m happy to see we’re able to bridge the gap between America and China through music and arts and dance. It’s so important because we get to see how much we really are connected,” she said.
