The report states that acts like Young Frankenstein, Boeing-Boeing, 13 and Grease would close for good. Even Hairspray, which was heavily advertised in New York City and has been highly popular since 2002, has been closed.
However, in the cold season of the performance industry, people are surprised to find that Divine Performing Arts (DPA) is rising up.
The Upturn of DPA
Like its very own Mystical Phoenix dance, DPA is reviving the ancient culture and traditions of China’s 5,000-year-old civilization that were suppressed or eliminated during the Cultural Revolution.
Divine Performing Arts (DPA), based in New York, is a nonprofit organization consisting of world-class dancers, choreographers, and musicians that is independent of China’s communist regime.
The stories, myths and legends are told through the synthesis of Chinese classical dance, a live orchestra, stunning digital backdrops and solo singers and instrumentalists.
Classical Chinese dance is a unique art form that dates back over 5,000 years of China’s divine- inspired cultures. Ancient Chinese people used dance to pay respect to heaven and the divine, show their appreciation of life and the universe, and praise kindness and virtue.
The DPA orchestra combines Western and Chinese musical instruments to create a unique and beautiful sound. Currently it is the world’s only orchestra that embraces both Western and Chinese instruments together.
2009 World Tour Underway
In less than one month, DPA has concluded performances in ten cities, including Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Durham (North Carolina), Fort Lauderdale, Los Angles, Santiago, San Francisco in the US, and Ottawa in Canada. Divine Performing Arts is springing up everywhere, a bright light amongst the the global financial crisis.
On Dec. 30 in Detroit, people seemed to forget the current survival struggle in the car industry. There were almost no vacant seats in the theater. Audience members were captivated by the beautiful world depicted by DPA.
Mr. Masefield, a world-class pioneer expert in the field of radiation sterilization, said after watching the show: “DPA achieves the highest level of performance in the world, presenting the future hope for human beings. DPA leads us to surpass all difficulties encountered by the world. It is very inspiring and is coming just in time.”
