Ms. Branton is the Business Planning and Improvement Officer for the Victorian Government. She said, “the message I would take from the show would be to keep trying and persevering, you can reach your dreams.”
Shen Yun Performing Arts is reclaiming the long-lost treasures of China by presenting a series of traditional Chinese performances on the world stage. These world-class performances transport audiences to a land of beauty and enchantment, leaving them uplifted and inspired.
One dance that impressed Ms. Branton was the Plum Blossom, "that really touched me, the plum one, that was beautiful–everything was perfect.”
The plum blossom is greatly loved by the Chinese people. Though small and delicate, it displays resilience amidst adversity, blooming even in snow. No matter how much the wind stirs the branches, the blossoms never wilt nor lose their beauty. They offer an unfailing promise of spring.
“The backdrops were amazing” said Ms, Branton “I have never seen them used that way, the dancers were dancing and the backdrops were moving … and the stars came down”
Shen Yun’s mission is to revive the spirit of traditional Chinese culture. In just four years Shen yun evolved from a few passionate artists to a company that now features three dance ensembles and three orchestras that simultaneously tour the globe.
“It’s a shame that it can’t actually be shown in China” said Ms. Branton. “It is fortunate for us, because we can see it.”
