SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 533
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Shen Yun Performing Arts group on the occasion of
its visit to San Antonio April 14 through April 16, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Shen Yun troupe was formed in New York in 2006
by a group of overseas Chinese artists; its mission is to revive
and share the essence of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization
through the performing arts; and
WHEREAS, At the core of Shen Yun performances is classical
Chinese dance, an ancient and distinctive art form; in addition,
the group incorporates folk and ethnic dances, visual
storytelling, and breathtaking acrobatics; and
WHEREAS, Shen Yun has achieved phenomenal success in only a
few years; since its founding, the group has evolved from a
single dance troupe into a complex production company with three
simultaneously touring dance troupes, each with its own full
orchestra; and
WHEREAS, This highly regarded organization employs some
300 artists; it captivates its audiences with the magic of
movement and colorful handcrafted costumes, sharing the history
and culture of ancient China; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby welcome the Shen Yun Performing Arts troupe
to San Antonio and extend to its members best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Shen Yun Performing Arts as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
