Shen Yun at the Segerstrom Thurs., April 6, 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, $96 pp The
arts connect Heaven and Earth… There was a time when the world was full of magic and splendor, and all on Earth
existed in harmony with Heaven. You could see it in the arts, feel it in the air and hear it in the beat of a drum. This
was a land of fairies and sages, dragons and phoenixes, emperors and immortals. Known today as China, this place
was once called the Land of the Divine. What if you could journey back and visit this lost paradise? Shen Yun brings
the profound spirit of this lost civilization to life on stage with unrivaled artistic mastery. Every dance movement,
every musical note, make this a stunning visual and emotional experience you won't find anywhere else. Banned
in communist China today, the non-profit Shen Yun is dedicated to reviving 5,000 years of civilization. Experience
the Arts Connecting Heaven & Earth… Experience Shen Yun! Be inspired. Be amazed. Experience the Divine
Culture. Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world's premier classical Chinese dance and music
company. Discover classical Chinese dance – one of the most rigorous and athletic, yet exquisitely beautiful art
forms in the world. Feel the joy as ethnic and folk dances fill the stage with color and energy. Experience the new
sound of an orchestra that combines east and west like no other. Journey to another world with exquisite costumes
and stunning animated backdrops. This is an uplifting experience that fills you with hope. Lunch will be on own at
the South Coast Plaza before the 2 pm show. Remember that Opera or Ballet performance attire is recommended.
