She praised the delicacy, harmony, and synchronicity of the dancers.
She also said it was very educational and stated she was fascinated because she had wanted to see a performance that depicted ancient civilizations.
Bradshaw noted that many elements of modern dance had been passed down from Chinese traditional culture.
“[It’s about ] carrying our traditions with us through time,” she said while adding that there was a lot of spiritual energy in the performance.
Bradshaw’s said she also learned that under communism, people are not permitted to express themselves freely.
As a producer, Bradshaw was able to make an observation.
She is now semi-retired but continues to work with young people, producing a show about every few years.
Bradshaw wanted to congratulate Shen Yun’s producer. She encouraged him to continue with his good work because there was a lesson in Shen Yun for everyone.
“We’re all on this globe, we are in bad straits right now and we need … this kind of art form to remind us about humanity and compassion and cooperation,” she said.
