SAN DIEGO—The Divine Performing Arts (DPA) 2009 World Tour appealed to an international audience at San Diego’s Civic Theater on the first night of its presentation, Dec. 26.
Kate, who was born in China, now lives in San Diego where she studies political science at UC Berkeley. She was at the show with her brother, Kevin, and though she had seen Chinese performances back home in China and in the United States, said the DPA presentation was “definitely” one the best she had seen.
“I love the colors, the variety of the dances, the costumes all very beautiful and colorful. I like that there is a live orchestra and the integration of voice performance along with traditional dance, and, also scenes of contemporary China,” she said.
Kate has an interest in human rights and public policy. She thought the contemporary scenes of human rights abuses in China was an important part of the show’s message.
