SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 533
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Shen Yun Performing Arts group on the occasion of |
|
its visit to San Antonio April 14 through April 16, 2013; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Shen Yun troupe was formed in New York in 2006 |
|
by a group of overseas Chinese artists; its mission is to revive |
|
and share the essence of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization |
|
through the performing arts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At the core of Shen Yun performances is classical |
|
Chinese dance, an ancient and distinctive art form; in addition, |
|
the group incorporates folk and ethnic dances, visual |
|
storytelling, and breathtaking acrobatics; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Shen Yun has achieved phenomenal success in only a |
|
few years; since its founding, the group has evolved from a |
|
single dance troupe into a complex production company with three |
|
simultaneously touring dance troupes, each with its own full |
|
orchestra; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This highly regarded organization employs some |
|
300 artists; it captivates its audiences with the magic of |
|
movement and colorful handcrafted costumes, sharing the history |
|
and culture of ancient China; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
Legislature, hereby welcome the Shen Yun Performing Arts troupe |
|
to San Antonio and extend to its members best wishes for |
|
continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
Shen Yun Performing Arts as an expression of high regard from the |
|
Texas Senate. |
