OTTAWA—Shen Yun Performing Arts was a much-appreciated Christmas bonus for Nathan Mean, Director of Business Resources at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, and his wife, Deborah Moore, a professor of English at Carleton University.
“It was a real treat for us to come out two days before Christmas because we wanted to see something quite different from what we could normally expect to see, and so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,” said Mr. Mean.
“I would say that this was the cherry topper to a wonderful work week … going into a wonderful holiday period. The colouring, the technical expertise, the music, it all came together as a wonderful gift,” he added.
With the mission of reviving 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture, New York-based Shen Yun tours the world with performances of classical Chinese dance as well as folk dances and ethnic dances from China’s diverse regions and peoples.
Traditional Chinese values such as compassion, courage, filial piety, and reverence for the divine are conveyed through an all-new production staged every year.
