Company Director Says Shen Yun ‘Very Meaningful’

AUCKLAND, New Zealand—Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company’s performance at the ASB Theatre was very meaningful for Brian Stocking and his wife Gillian, with the quality of the show resonating with them very much.

Mr. Stocking, a Company Director thought the New York-based Shen Yun was “a very colorful show, a very nicely produced show.” He said, “the choreography was very enjoyable.”

Mrs. Stocking was glad that the emcees spoke in both Chinese and English, allowing for a clear understanding of each piece.

She also said they “enjoyed the colorfulness, we enjoyed … going back into the history and sort of showing how it all developed and where it came from which was really quite interesting.”

Shen Yun presents gloriously choreographed classical Chinese and ethnic dancing, with hand-made costumes, superb lighting, and a large animated backdrop adding an extra dimension to the performance.

“The type of choreography, the type of music, the story behind each theme, it was very meaningful, and it was very enjoyable to watch,” Mr. Stocking said.

Shen Yun’s mission is to revive China’s ancient divinely-inspired culture through performing arts, and with three companies touring the globe, their impact is being felt far and wide.

“We were very impressed and hopefully we’ll see [Shen Yun] again next year when it comes back with a different performance,” Mr. Stocking said.

Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company will perform in Auckland, New Zealand, at the ASB Theatre, Aotea Centre, through to Feb. 5. Next stop will be Sydney, Australia, Feb, 8-23. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org
