‘Costumes are Exquisite’ Says College Administator
[topic]CHICAGO—Audience members at Chicago’s Civic Opera House gave high praise for Shen Yun Performing Arts.
“I’m interested in fashion and interior design and I think the costumes are exquisite,” said Irma Lee, a retired college administrator.
Bill Stark, a retired engineer, was impressed by the dancers dress and style. “The dance movements were exquisite. I think it’s very nicely done. The costumes are beautiful. I thought the Lotus Leaves dance was particularly beautiful. The Chinese have always fascinated me with their dress and style.”
Shen Yun Performing Arts mission is to reclaim 5,000 years of Chinese culture. Translated the word “Shen Yun” means the grace, compassion and sublime beauty of heavenly realms that are shown by the dancers.
“At the end you had a hope, and I think that’s what we need in this world today is hope. It was very enjoyable! Wouldn’t miss it,” Stark added.
Visiting family members in Chicago, Marie Casey, a consultant in the lottery industry from North Carolina, said she thoroughly loved the show. “I really enjoyed it. I love the dancing, love the spectacle of the costumes, and love the color.”
