2020 Photos from Tour: Kicking Off a New Season

2020 Photos from Tour: Kicking Off a New Season (Preview)

Shen Yun has arrived in Japan. See what Shen Yun New York Company members have been up to before the group’s first performance at the Aichi Prefectural Art Theater, Nagoya.

Principal bassist Juraj Kukan helped the performers land smoothly (just kidding). Upon arrival at the gate, the kind airline staff allowed Shen Yun performers to view the cockpit of the new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner.

Classical Chinese dance and Chinese martial arts are like long-lost siblings, just ask Principal Dancer Michelle Lian and this ninja.

Performers visit the idyllic Nagoya Tenshu Castle and its surrounding buildings before the company’s string of performances across the country begin. (Photo by principal clarinetist Yevgeniy Reznik)

Dancers attempt to capture the famous castle as their photo background.

The two golden tiger-fish roof ornaments atop Nagoya Castle, one male and one female, are symbolic of the castle. They each have the head of a tiger and the body of a carp. (Photo by Tony Zhao)

Nagoya Castle’s Hommaru Palace was built over 400 years ago, during times of Samurai warfare. The building exemplifies some of the finest Samurai-styled architecture known.

Inside are masterpieces painted on gold foil. They were completed by the most talented painters from a famed arts school of the time. (Photo by Yevgeniy Reznik)

Dancers (from left) Allen Liu, Daniel Sun, Felix Sun, and Piotr Huang take in the castle grounds. (Photo by Tony Zhao)

Are you curious how many dancers can fit into one photo? Eleven.

Season’s greetings from Shen Yun International Company in Birmingham, UK, where all performances are again completely sold out. (Photo by dancer Tony Xue)

Birmingham marks the beginning of a multi-continent tour for this company. Can they balance it all well?

Stay tuned for more! (Photo by Tony Xue)
