MADISON, Wis.—The Divine Performing Arts(DPA)New Years Spectacular was performed in Madison’s downtown cultural arts district at the Overture Performing Arts Center, Feb. 12. The mission of DPA is to rediscover and renew humanity’s true, rightful cultural heritage by storytelling and legends brought to life through beautiful dancing, singing, and music.
Mr. Evans, a director in the Wisconsin National Guard, and his wife, found the evening performance to have several messages.
“I was very intrigued by the movements and the dance,” Mr. Evans said. “I think the message is very well taken. The more that people understand each other the more that they will understand their similarities rather than differences. So, the difference becomes minimized and the possibility of enjoying each other for who we are becomes maximized.”
His wife works with families as an Army Reserve volunteer. “I enjoyed the show very much, very beautiful. The message got across to enjoy everyone’s culture.”
“I used to be a dancer when I was very young, so I appreciated a lot of the dance,” said Mrs. Evans. The way they moved and the control that they had over their entire body and all of their muscles. It was just wonderful.”
Mrs. Evans commented more on the dancing. “Very graceful, just beautiful. They just moved as one. It was very very nice. I have never seen anything like it.” Nor had she seen anything like the costumes. “Yes, beautiful, absolutely beautiful.”
Another message Mr. Evans takes with him is of “moving away from the heavy emphasizes of materialism and more on looking at the pure enjoyment on life itself.”
“I am very glad we came,” concluded Mrs. Evans.
