“It’s brilliant. The colors are beautiful, the dancing and the messaging, just learning a lot about it. It’s more than I could imagine,” Ms. Kinnear said.
“I’ve been watching [the dancers] and their movements. They’re so graceful, and it’s just lovely, and I’m so excited to be here and have this experience.”
“I feel like I’ve been learning a lot about China before communism. It’s really interesting, and when I go home, I’m going to actually look up more about it,” she shared.
“I thought [Shen Yun’s] messages were really brilliant, and I think that everybody should come and see it once so that they can learn more.”
Ms. Agar also loved the performance. “It’s beyond my expectations, for sure,” she said happily. “I love the colors, I love the dancing. I was a professional dancer, so I was very excited to see the dancing. The men, the flips; the women, the extensions—their beautiful, pointed feet—the choreography is incredible.”
“I could tell they have a lot of training. I was thinking, ‘Oh, I wonder where they got trained?’ and then they told us that they were trained in New York, which I thought was very interesting. They must train for years. Beautiful, professional, on point dancers.”
Reflecting on the company’s storyline dance that raises awareness for the ongoing human rights issue in present-day China, Ms. Agar said she believes “the impact of the show would be phenomenal.”
“I think it would have a profound impact on people that may know about what’s going on in China, that may know about communism, or that may have no idea,” she expressed.
