KITCHENER, Canada—Corey Kimpson, Councillor of the City of Cambridge, watched Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Centre in The Square on the evening of March 25. She felt very energized after the show. “I’m leaving [the theater] with so much energy.” Ms. Kimpson said, “I’m really grateful that I was able to come tonight.”

Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company, with a mission to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.

Ms. Kimpson thoroughly enjoyed the performance. She said, “[there is] so much to take in between the dancing and the music and the costumes and the special effects. It was more than I imagined, and I really enjoyed it.”

Shen Yun’s interpretation of traditional Chinese culture through dance and music was also very entertaining and, at the same time, very educational. Ms. Kimpson said, “I wasn’t expecting it to be such an educational performance. It was such a wonderful combination of the culture and the arts and the dance, but learning as well.”

“Having the emcees provide some information for us in between acts was really something. I wasn’t expecting that, and I was really pleased. It was just absolutely incredible!”

Each year, Shen Yun presents a new performance during its world tour, sharing with audiences the beauty of China before communism.
For Ms. Kimpson, the peacock dance gave her deep impressions. “I really enjoyed the peacock performance. I love the colors.” She said, “Towards the end, when they finished off the number, there was the combination of the dancers, the costumes, as well as the backdrop all together, it really pulled everything, and it was a really impactful ending before the curtain came down.”

Ms. Kimpson praised the high caliber dance techniques displayed by the Shen Yun dancers, “I could tell how well trained the dancers were, and their performance, and everyone was completely in sync. It was just marvelous to watch.”

“It’s my very first time coming, and it was definitely not the last. It was amazing. I can’t wait until next year.”
