    Dear Brenda,

    This show is fantastic and I encourage all our teachers to see it. Many have came back from the show and was mesmerized by the aesthetics, visuals, and the unbelievable.

    If any of you do go to see the performance, I hope you'll provide reviews. Shen Yun has received praise by many as a visual extravaganza.

    It's also part of the Falungong's effort to offer a non-PRC approved vision of traditional Chinese culture. Falungong is a spiritual and wellness group that was banned in 1999 by the Chinese government. Labeled a cult, some Falungong members have been imprisoned. My friend and former colleague, James Tong, has written a book on the suppression of the Falungong. In 2010 he also testified before a congressional committee about the group and the PRC government's hostility towards it. You can read his testimony here:

    I am looking forward to see this show. I believe I should be able to appreciate this show more at this point because of all the new information I have on Chinese history and culture. This class has provided me with a new perspective on Chinese culture and a better understanding of it. Cheers!

    I am interested in attending this show, which before taking this class I wouldn't have noticed. It is a show of Chinese music and dance, and will be in the area from Jan 18 - 27, 2013. See ALspectacular.com for tickets. The shows are for 10 days only at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
