MILWAUKEE—“It’s a beautiful show and we’re very proud to have it in the Milwaukee Theater—very happy,” said Richard A. Geyer, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Center District, the complex in which the Milwaukee Theatre is located.
The Milwaukee Theatre is the city’s elegant home for cultural and civic events and so the perfect venue for Shen Yun Performing Arts, a New York-based company that tours all around the globe, bringing the best of Chinese culture wherever it goes.
Attending the show on Friday, April 23, Mr. Geyer enjoyed the beauty of the cultural experience. What impressed him was “the scenery ... the additional screen, and the performers, they’re beautiful.”
Speaking of the dancers, Mr. Geyer mentioned two dances in particular, “I liked the embroidery [Elegant Embroidery], with the girls-it’s just beautiful, so beautiful-the costumes. The boys are very good dancers, with the arrows [Imperial Archers], practicing for the war ... very good.”
Shen Yun specializes in classical Chinese dance. “The unique art of classical Chinese dance that we know today, with its impressive scale and system, is the product of generations of dancers’ many years of artistic experience combined with their refining, reorganizing, and reworking of the art form,” according to the Shen Yun website.
Mr. Geyer truly appreciated the international flair which Shen Yun brings and felt it was important to Milwaukee to have this kind of show, “I think it’s important that people understand the culture, there has to be more of that understood.”
