WHEREAS, Shen Yun Performing Arts, a classical Chinese dance |
|
|
company that has toured in more than 36 countries, recently kicked |
|
|
off its 2025 season in Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This year marks the 19th anniversary of Shen Yun's |
|
|
establishment in the United States; in 2006, a small group of elite |
|
|
Chinese artists came together in New York with the mission to revive |
|
|
traditional Chinese culture and share it with the world; since |
|
|
then, Shen Yun has staged magnificent live performances of |
|
|
classical Chinese dance that incorporate a blend of Eastern |
|
|
instrumentation and Western symphony orchestra to portray 5,000 |
|
|
years of Chinese history and culture; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each year, Shen Yun Performing Arts designs |
|
|
brand-new productions that take audiences back through time and |
|
|
space to experience China before the advent of Communism; since its |
|
|
inception, Shen Yun has grown to eight equally sized companies that |
|
|
tour around the world synchronously; the company recently presented |
|
|
shows in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and Amarillo as part |
|
|
of its all new 2025 season, and it subsequently embarked on a second |
|
|
round of performances in Texas cities that will last until early |
|
|
March 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Shen Yun has introduced countless patrons to the |
|
|
exquisite beauty and richness of traditional Chinese culture and |
|
|
dance, and it is a pleasure to join in celebrating the return of |
|
|
Shen Yun and its impressively talented performers to the Lone Star |
|
|
State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize January 29, 2025, as Shen Yun Day at |
|
|
the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere |
|
|
best wishes for a successful and memorable season in the great state |
|
|
of Texas; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Shen Yun Performing Arts as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
