“The special effects of the filming, where the actors and the dancers disappear into the screen, back and forth, was something I have never seen before and I would advise anyone who hasn’t seen it: it is a must see. It is just marvelous and spectacular, a delightful and wonderful experience,” he said.
Dr. Cohen was accompanied by Dr. Patricia Schmidt, chair of education at Five Towns College.
“I can just second everything Dr. Cohen said,” she said. “I had the most wonderful experience seeing this program today. And the special effects where the actors disappear into the screen and come back off the screen was truly a delightful event and experience to see. It was a wonderful afternoon, and I certainly hope everyone gets a chance to come out and see this wonderful show.”
Dr. Schmidt commented on the Shen Yun Orchestra, which combines Western classical instruments alongside Chinese classical instruments.
“Each culture has a different scale and everything. To put it all together in one seamless event was just terrific,” she said.
Dr. Cohen said he and Dr. Schmidt had “never seen anything like” Shen Yun.
“We are very happy and pleased that we were able to have this marvelous interesting delightful and lovely experience. It is a once in a lifetime,” he said. “I would recommend to everyone, you must see it.”
