Posted by Nick McGowan on Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

On 2nd of May, Claudia Wore and Rebecca Wozi, two legal professionals from St Loius enjoyed the performance of Divine Performing Arts Spectacular.

They explained how, due to the recent issues surrounding the Olympic Games and Tibet, they were concerned about China and also want to understand China, especially through the performance of Divine Performing Arts.

Ms Wore said that show took her into a new cultural world, explaining how she enjoyed the skills of the dancers, the colours of the costumes, and the presentation of the story.

She explained “the Culture is different from what we usually see; it will bring you into another domain, another place… The different culture lies in the different styles, different ideas behind the act, they are trying to use different ways to express their intent.”

Ms Wore also said that although there is difference in their country’s Christian culture and the ancient Chinese Buddhist culture, the Buddhist culture seems good.

Ms Wozi said she most enjoyed the Mongolian dance also the Tibetan commenting that perhaps it was the Tibetan issues that sparked her interest.

Ms Wore also explained, “I think the world is getting smaller and smaller, regardless of where such an event held, there must be some positive impact, to let people know more, and some things they have not familiar with. Perhaps to say it is not to accept more new things, but to refresh our memory. In addition, people enjoy it, it is very beautiful”.
