SAN DIEGO—The reflection of ancient culture through Divine Performing Arts’ performance on Saturday Dec. 27 not only touched the hearts of adults and seniors, but also young students.

When asked about her favorite dance, Jean Saung, a second year art student majoring in jewelry design said: “Not only was the costume really well designed to go with the movements of the dancers, the colors were very well chosen. It gives you the feeling of rebirth and regeneration, and a continuation of life. I really enjoyed the dance and there was a very nice surprise at the end when the fans went from half circle to full circle. It was like the season was complete. It felt complete to me. It made me whole.”

For Nafisah Tung, an art student, her favorite piece was “a tie between the Mongolian Chopsticks dance and the Udumbara flower dance, The Udumbara Blossom. I liked the intro a lot, I liked the drums. I like how they incorporated the drums with their dancing”.

In addition to the choreography, the costume, and color scheme, the host and hostess captured the audience’s attention as well. Not only do they try to engage audience members with historical facts about Chinese culture and a sense of humor, they are also “very animated”, according to an UC Irvine student.
