COSTA MESA, Calif.—Mr. Wayne, an interior designer for 40 years, thoroughly enjoyed Tuesday evening’s New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts show at the Orange County Performing Arts Center on its 2009 spring tour.
Mr. Wayne said that from a design perspective he loved the colors of the costumes—“superb, the best.”
With radiant golden-hued Tang dynasty gowns to elegant Manchu court chopine shoes, each costume is carefully designed and tailored with meticulous care.
Mr. Wayne also thought highly of the choreography and the dancing saying, “The spirit [of the performance] was very good.”
Chinese classical dance, the centrepiece of the Shen Yun shows, is among the most comprehensive dance systems in the world. It is known for its expressiveness in addition to its training for strength and flexibility.
The state-of-the-art digital 3-D backdrop that accompanies each act lends a vibrant background to each performance, something Mr. Wayne enjoyed.
“I thought the digital effect was superb. It’s obvious how impressive it was. The backdrops looked digital to me rather than traditional sets, and it was very inspiring. From a professional point of view I thought it was really excellent.”
