Divine Performing Arts
is an exhilarating world-class production that celebrates the pure excellence and grandeur of classical Chinese dance and music inspired by the myths, legends, and divine beauty of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.
Five Thousand Years In One Exhilarating Show -
China was once known as "Shen Zhou" or "Land of the Divine," as people once believed Chinese culture to be a gift from the heavens. Virtue and piety were emphasized in daily life. Sadly, though, over time much of this great culture has been lost.
Divine Performing Arts Based in New York is reviving the long-lost treasures of China by presenting a series of original performances across the globe. Its shows transport audiences to a land of beauty and enchantment, leaving them uplifted and inspired.
The performances combine ancient technique with modern technology. Involving hundreds of talented dancers and musicians, original scores, live orchestra, and custom-designed digital backdrops, these pieces of artistry delight the senses, touch the heart, and move the soul.
This culture renaissance centering on classical themes and Chinese traditions that define "beauty" and "compassion", is to restore the essence of authentic Chinese traditional "virtue" and "value" and bring its true spirit to magnificent life, free of any distortions from the Communist Party. The content of all programs is expressed in Chinese, English, and local languages.
In the past several years, the shows by Divine Performing Arts are getting more and more popular and welcomed by live audiendecs around the world. In 2008 Divine Performing Arts dazzled over 600,000 live audience members in more than 60 cities on four continents.
“The dances were graceful, delicate, and beautiful! There was something pure and bright and also very dignified about them. This show gave me a real sense of goodness and meaning in life.”
– Anna Liceica, Soloist, American Ballet Theatre
“It’s very artistic, and you just feel nice watching it. It’s hard to explain exactly what it is about it that’s so beautiful.”
– Marc Reese, trumpeter, Empire Brass
“Absolutely magical… The gorgeous costumes, the gracefulness, the beautiful choreography, the beautiful music… It’s beauty from beginning to end. Everybody that I know who has seen it, everybody comes away with exactly the same opinion: Everybody says you have to see it to believe it. You cannot describe it in words; it must be experienced.”
– Christine Walevska, cello virtuoso
“...a highly professional, well thought out and beautifully produced presentation! This is not only entertainment, but a valuable cross-over cultural event: a strong, gracious gesture toward international understanding, in an all-too-troubled world.”
– Donn B. Murphy, Ph.D., President, The National Theatre
“It amazed me… The choreography is phenomenal, I think it’s the best show that I ever saw. The best. Even the backgrounds, the dancing, the choreography and the music, the singing—everything. I am very, very lucky to see this amazing and fabulous performance, and I couldn’t have imagined it would be like this.”
– Valentina Alexess, former ballerina, Moscow Ballet
“Wonderful… a grand show, a spectacle… It was atmospheric, mesmerizing.”
– Jennifer O’Loughlin, Soprano, Vienna Opera House
“No words can describe the whole show. Amazing may be one way to describe it. It is so magnificent… I have never watched such wonderful dance in my life! It’s hard to describe. Perfection may be the right word.”
– Mieke Bouve, Belgian actress
“The theme of the show was very clear, depicting Chinese culture and history that is traditional and authentic. The programs displayed the courage, wisdom, and hardworking spirit of the Chinese people. Their hearts are so open and giving. Inspiring!”
– Nilas Martins, Principal dancer, New York City Ballet
“A wonderful combination of the expressive and the technical! It’s very rich in spirit. It’s not just giving you cultural snippets, a tour of Asia—it’s also giving you an underlying philosophy of what can be done and what really matters.”
– James Sutton, Associate Professor of Ballet, New York University
“There are no words to say how much I enjoyed it… I’ve never seen a dance company like it. I’ve seen the National Ballet, I’ve seen the New York City Ballet, and they dance from technique. But these people dance from the heart, from the soul… I will come to every performance they ever have… I think everybody should see this. These performances are phenomenal.”
– Kory Tylor, former ballerina and owner, Dance Arts Centre
