In each phase, the characteristic of Shakespeare studies in China is closely associated with the political and cultural situation of the time. This thesis chronicles and analyzes noteworthy scholarship of Shakespeare studies in China, especially since the 1990s, in terms of translation, literary criticism, and performances, and forecasts new territory for future studies of Shakespeare in China. iv Table of Contents Introduction ………………………………………………………………………………1 Section 1 Oriental and Localized Shakespeare: Translation of Shakespeare’s Plays in China …………………………………………………………………... 3 Section 2 Interpretation and Decoding: Contemporary Chinese Shakespeare Criticism……………………………………………………………….

Founder, choreographer, and artistic director Lily Cai sat down to tell us a little about her company, how she helps her dancers find their Chi, and what it was like to perform for 16000 Deadheads. You started out as a dancer with the Shanghai Opera House. Can you tell me about that? Shanghai Opera House had two different departments—dance and opera—and over 1000 employees. It was a big company, fully funded by the government. In the early 1950s Russia and China had a very close relationship. Russia sent a lot of artists to set up systems for China because Mao had taken over everything in 1948, so it was run by Russians. In the dance department we did Chinese classical—different dances from over 5000 years of Chinese history—then we had folk-ethnic dance as well, with over 56 different ethnic groups. We also had to learn foreign styles of dance. And we also did ballet. The opera department sang Western style operas. That's why the Shanghai Opera House was such a big house. It was just like a school system in that sometimes we spent years learning something we never used.

  • 3. the Travels of a Jasmine Flower: a Chinese Folk Song, Its Prehistory, and Tan Dun's Symphony 1997
    194 Musical Composition in the Context of Globalization Perspectives Aside from the aspects summarized here, it is not easy to reconstruct Fraenkel’s time in Shang- hai in great detail. In many respects, we still have to rely on assumptions, for example, when trying to reconstruct the exact circumstances of his release from Sachsenhausen and his trip to Shanghai, but, most importantly, also his artistic and cultural impact during the exile years: how did Fraenkel make contacts in Shanghai? How did he find a connection to the city’s music scene so quickly, gaining a comparatively privileged position in the impoverished immigrant community, in contrast to Julius Schloß or Karl Steiner, who had to make ends meet in bars as accordion and piano players?137 Further studies of his estate, a more comprehensive consideration of the oral history, which was only cursorily included here, and, last but not least, more precise analyses of his musical works could certainly help to answer these and other questions that arise. For the time being, it remains remarkable how sensitively Fraenkel reacted to the state of music in China and how this was partly reflected in his writings and works. From the perspective of Chinese music historiography, Fraenkel is a small but crucial build- ing block. Without him, the early reception of musical modernism in China would probably not have taken place at all, and the sensational “second musical modernity” in China during the 1980s and 1990s (→ III.5) would not have found any point of reference in its own past. Fraenkel’s work as a pedagogue, conductor, musician, and composer deserves to be further examined in China as well as in the West.

  • Abstract Masters
    ABSTRACT MASTERS 1 ABSTRACT MASTERS 24 June - 11 July 2021 2 3 FOREWORD In line with its long-standing tradition, Opera Gallery Singapore is delighted to present the 2021 exhibition of Abstract Masters, featuring a curated selection of works by legendary artists who revolutionised the art world during the 20th and 21st century. The works on view display the intense originality of a diverse group of artists, including Asian artists Chu Teh-Chun and Zao Wou-Ki, European artists Pierre Soulages, Georges Mathieu, Serge Poliakoff and Hermann Nitsch, North American artists Sam Francis and Jean Paul Riopelle. Eschewing the traditional standards of art, these artists challenged and transformed conventional art forms to communicate their innermost thoughts and emotions, developing their own distinct visual languages. There is no one style that they all share, the range goes from works that are incredibly gestural, aggressive and high-energy to works that are very silent and contemplative. They do not follow a set formula. If Chu Teh-Chun’s formless landscapes are filled with the energy of life, the 2002 painting by Zao Wou-Ki on view here is light and gauzy and exudes the aura of serenity that characterized the artist’s persona. Both Georges Mathieu’s and Hermann Nitsch’s works are the result of performances and exult the zeal ensued from action painting. On the other hand, there is a palpable silence emanating from the geometric vocabulary of bold colours within the non- representational painting by Serge Poliakoff. In Jean Paul Riopelle’s compositions, texture plays an essential role while a gentle cadence seems to guide the overall flow of colour.
