This concurrent resolution recognizes Shen Yun, a performing arts company established in 2006 that has become a global sensation, touring over 200 cities worldwide each year. The resolution highlights Shen Yun's unique artistic approach, which includes eight performance companies featuring a live orchestra and new choreography annually, and focuses on showcasing classical Chinese dance through a blend of traditional and modern artistic techniques. The resolution emphasizes Shen Yun's mission of cultural revival, noting that its name translates to "The Beauty of Divine Beings Dancing" and that its performances take audiences on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture, exploring various legends, dynasties, and philosophical themes. By using dance and music as a universal language, Shen Yun aims to evoke themes of virtue, compassion, and courage, and has touched millions of spectators from diverse cultural backgrounds. Specifically, the resolution acknowledges Shen Yun's upcoming performances at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University in Indianapolis on March 22 and 23, 2025, and directs the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives to transmit copies of the resolution to State Representative Craig Haggard for distribution.
