“I’ve been very impressed with how everything is so synchronized, the movements, the colors, the music, the screen behind it, that’s so impressive. How they collaborate so well together. They drop behind the screen, all of a sudden they’re on the screen. Excellent, excellent,” said John Carrell, a company executive.
“They ring with a traditional depth that you can feel in your bones. They touch you in a way that goes to a part in us that we have forgotten.”
“They were just wonderful and so smooth and beautiful. And the sky, the screen in the back, I’ve never seen anything like that, that is so much fun and so clever and creative,” said Frank Coats, a former pastor. “It was just marvelous. And understanding from the narrator that many of the moves that we thought were acrobatic originated with China.”
“There’s so many things that have been lost over the years because we don’t maintain those traditions. ... I would hate to see those traditions lost. There’s just too much value in them,” said Mr. Carrell.
“You’re holding on to a tradition, and you’re keeping it alive. For all the people who want to see it and love to see it, do not stop, it’s an effort well worth your time and energy.”
“Thank you for choosing that path. It’s a difficult path, it took a lot of work. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do what we saw tonight, whether they’re a musician or whether they’re a dancer or choreographer,” said Mr. Coats.
