SAN DIEGO—Shen Yun Performing Arts completed its first of seven shows Saturday evening, Dec. 26, at the San Diego Civic Theatre. San Diego is the first city in California to receive Shen Yun on its 2010 tour.
Ms. Sharpe, a director of stage production, Wordical Productions, watched the show with Ms. Osborne, a choreographer. They both thoroughly enjoyed the show.
“This is incredible! This is absolutely incredible!” Ms. Sharpe said enthusiastically. “I like the choreography. The story-telling with the choreography is awesome, it’s just awesome,” she exclaimed.
Ms. Sharpe added that Shen Yun’s costumes are fantastic and that the colors along with the dances were coordinated well. She feels that if her students watched the show it would broaden their perspective of dance.
Ms. Osborne had similar feelings after watching Shen Yun. She saw in the show dance movements that she would like to teach her students. She also noticed the great degree of difficulty of the dance movements, stating, “That’s really hard to do, that’s a really hard move to make. The dancing, the turning, [and] the spinning consistently across the stage is unreal. It’s amazing.”
