NTDTV: Tia Zhang, Michelle Ren and Yungchia Chen Explain Shen Yuns New Program

NTDTV's official YouTube Channel got taken down (AGAIN!) for some weird reason, so I thought it would be a good time to upload some of their noteworthy videos again and it's also to remind you guys that you can actually still find ALL their programming on their website: http://english.ntdtv.com - So just cause Google is probably bowing to China again doesn't mean they are gone - go visit their website, they don't only have news on human rights in China, but have 24 hour programming with live streaming.

Shen Yun Performing Arts has started its new season, with all news shows, in Augusta, Georgia.

Their global tour will see the performers again travel across four continents over the next five months with more than 50 shows scheduled for January alone.

Company Manager of Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company and choreographer Tia Zhang says although the program is new, the theme has not changed.

[Tia Zhang, Shen Yun Performing Arts]:
This is the first time Shen Yun Performing Arts has performed in Augusta, and this is the first stop on our global tour, so we are very excited. Our program is all new but our essence, our theme will never change to promote 5,000 years of Chinese traditional culture, divinely imparted culture.

Principal dancer Michelle Ren says audience members are going to see something very divine in this seasons program.

[Michelle Ren, Choreographer & Principal Dancer]:
For instance, our show this year displays the soft beauty of traditional women. Some (performances) portray Heavenly beauties and saints. Some portray mens masculinity. There are many, many different types of dance. Each performance is different, with different meaning, giving people different feelings. "

[Yungchia Chen, Choreographer & Principal Dancer]:
Last year, the Tibetan dance was mainly men's dance, men's Tibetan dance. This year's Tibetan dance has males and females dancing together, expressing the masculine beauty of the Tibetan men, and woman's soft beauty."
