Here are a couple thoughtful reviews that discuss both the politics and
aesthetics of Shen Yun:

On the first one, I believe that Ben Penny of ANU has written about Shen
Yun - but I never saw the published journal article. You might be able to
email him about that. In the meantime there is a massive amount of
information on their website (http://zh-cn.shenyunperformingarts.org/); in
fact I was poking around there the other day, and the video interviews
they have with some of the dancers are fantastic:

Here's one with Michelle Ren, a principal dancer:

Another with Chen Yongjia:

A discussion of Chinese classical dance:

There's lots of other good stuff elsewhere on there. I'm not aware of
scholarship on Shen Yun yet, but I'd be interested in seeing some.

Cordially,
