TULSA, Okla.—Great emperors, majestic Buddhas, Confucian tales, the legends of China—complete with live orchestra—all had this Oklahoma-based trial lawyer enchanted.

Mr. Lloyd saw Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center on Wednesday night. He said he was delighted from the moment the curtain first opened.

“I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it was so exciting.

“On one level you see them doing a dance movement like a wave. On another level you understand they’re doing a martial art technique, and yet on another level they are doing a healing technique, and there is healing in the music. It’s like soul food is good for your body, and this is like medicine.

“I felt the way they blended the men and the women’s roles. It was very powerful to see that come together. 

“They didn’t tell you they were going into a spiritual realm or a philosophical realm. You could see that it was almost like they were recreating the beginning of time, and it was like the honeybee drawn to the flower and the fertilization taking place. It was a great experience to see life being created like that and they created something out of nothing, and I loved it.

“I loved the way they blended it, the soul and the spiritual part with the healing part. I could feel the healing taking place, and it was a spiritual healing as well. And the people in their movements—they had power, they had speed and grace, and I was just drawn to it like a magnet to steel.

“The postures—the way they assumed a certain posture to command respect ... the way they would make their movements—you could feel their energy and how they projected it.

It has power, grace, and speed. Yes, I’m very much drawn to it,” he said.
