When Shen Yun Performing Arts took the stage at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night, Dr. Izben Williams says he was pleased. <br /><br />[Dr. Izben C. Williams, Ambassador of St. Kitts and Navis]: <br />“I was pleased to see the level of performance and to see the breadth of performance. I think it is a very good artistic representation.” <br /><br />For others, it was the history presented by some of the dances that left an impression. <br /><br />[Chief Alexander Taku, Secretary General, Human Rights International]: <br />“It was just wonderful to see, the colorful historical culture of China. And also to imagine how old it is. It is probably the oldest culture in the world.” <br /><br />The president of Human Rights International, Dr. Lawrence Bland, was also at the show. <br /><br />[Dr. Lawrence Bland, President, Human Rights International]: <br />“The show this evening was a highlight, I think, on very essential things. Life can be fun and beautiful, if you work in that direction. There doesn’t always have to be a negative approach to everything. And the people all over the world are just people in general. And you have to respect that and admire other cultures.” <br /><br />The vice president of a local bank said the inner meaning of the Shen Yun performance was profound. <br /><br />[Ms. Zhou, Bank Vice President]: <br />“Today's performance was great and very interesting. Not just the costumes (are great), its inner meaning is also very profound." <br /><br />NTD News, Washington, D.C.
