It’s important that other cultures are represented in all walks of life, including artistically. Unfortunately, it seems like most places tend to focus on one culture and one culture only: and that’s Western culture. Chinese culture is making an appearance in a variety of walks, though, as evidenced in “Shen Yun brings Chinese dance, music, culture to Kennedy Center – WTOP.”
Key Takeaways:
- Shen Yun’s mission includes staging vibrant, quality extravaganzas that pull inspiration from thousands of years of Chinese civilization
- The organization’s goals also include a revival of traditional Chinese ideals that some fear are fading into obscurity and might soon be lost
- Shen’ means divine, ‘Yun’ means bearing, understanding, personal understanding, interpretation. Together, Shen Yun means ‘the beauty of divine-being dancing
“It’s also sending five separate casts of performing arts troupes to tour the world simultaneously during the 2017 season, including a six-day run in D.C. from Jan. 17-22.”
