Julia was interviewed by The Epoch Times while she was attending the show of New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts.
“The producer of a traditional Japanese dance show, Julia Mechler, appreciated the “beautiful mesh of traditional Chinese art and European classical music” presented in Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Hippodrome in Baltimore, Md. Commenting on the orchestra that combines East and West, she said, ‘I want to see something like that in Japan too.’ The show inspired Ms. Mechler to wonder how she could apply what she saw to Japanese traditional art because they haven’t been able to do something like this. She strongly believes a culture’s arts give identity to a people and gives them roots.
Ms. Mechler came from Okinawa, where the people are an ethnic minority in Japan. She said the traditional arts of her culture are fading away and was moved by how Shen Yun is reviving traditional culture.”
It was a tremendous inspiration for her & next Koi-Fes 😉 Stay tuned!
