AUSTIN, Texas—Shen Yun Performing Arts touched artist Sloan Christagau with both its visual artistry and freedom of expression with its opening performance at The Long Center in Austin on Thursday, Dec. 29.
“The colors and the movement is very drawing. It’s very graceful and I’m just enjoying it immensely,” Ms. Christagau said.
The New York-based company’s performances include classical Chinese dance, and ethnic and folk dances, where all the dancers don costumes of brilliant colors and meticulous detail.
“I’m just really enjoying the choreography of the whole show, and the scene of the meditation movement brought tears to my eyes,” Ms. Christagau said.
The dances in this year’s program included ones of current events in China, such as the persecution of Falun Gong.
“It’s very moving and [I’m] very proud to view an artistic showing and making people aware of things that are going on in China, because it’s important to stand up and just be vigilant about what we’re doing and what we’re expecting in the world as a whole,” Ms. Christagau said.
“It is just beautiful the way it’s being presented and the way it’s being made aware.”
