She said: "The performance was wonderful and I was very moved. Shen Yun used story-based dance, as well as backdrops to bring out the depth. I majored in fine arts and was quite moved by the choreography and dance, and the beauty of the whole body.”
The dance Little Mischievous Monks left a deep impression on Ms. Lu. She said, “Because the program is not just dance, it was telling a story and mixed with fun, and people felt interested. Generally, we watch drama, but here it was presented by dancing. Particularly at the end of the dance with a very interesting lay out.” She was also astonished by the dance at the Mongolia steppe.
Ms. Lu's husband, Mr. Chow Zhengyang, is an architect. He said that the hi-tech backdrops were unforgettable and the dance Min Nan Grace reminded him of a dance from his childhood; he was refreshed by Shen Yun’s world class skills. Ms. Lu emphasized that the dance rhythm, color from the hats and headpieces, to the costume of the performers impressed her.
After seeing Shen Yun, Ms. Lu said that she would share her experience with her students and tell them: "Our painting is static, but how to bring out the dynamics of sound and the human body physically; how to organize a story, as well as the feeling of rhythm, and let them echo in the hearts of the people.” She believes that Shen Yun will inspire her students in that aspect.
Another art teacher at the senior high, Chu Tian-an said, “The performance is very special. Wonderful visual effects, especially the backdrops with convergence of the characters and projection. It’s innovative to see the virtual screen and the performers merge together. ”
