"Experimenting with Dance Drama: Peking Opera Modernity, Kabuki Theater Reform and the Denishawn’S Tour of the Far East"
Journal of Global Theatre History ISSN: 2509-6990 Issue 1, Number 2, 2016, pp. 28-37 Catherine Vance Yeh "Experimenting with Dance Drama: Peking Opera Modernity, Kabuki Theater Reform and the Denishawn’s Tour of the Far East" Abstract During the 1910s and 20s, Peking opera underwent a fundamental transformation from a performing art primarily driven by singing to one included acting and dancing. Leading this new development were male actors playing female roles, with Mei Lanfang as the most outstanding example. The acknowledged sources on which these changes drew were the encounter with Western style opera. The artistic and social values carrying these changes, however, suggest that Peking opera underwent a qualitative reconceptualization that involved a critical break with its past. This paper will explore the artistic transformation of Peking opera of the 1910s-20s by focusing on the three areas of contact Paris, Japan and the US. It will argue that the particular artistic innovation in Peking can only be fully understood and appraised in the context of global cultural interaction. It suggests that a new assessment of the modernist movement is needed that sees it as a part of a global trend rather than only as a European phenomenon. Author Catherine Vance Yeh is Professor of Modern Chinese Literature and Transcultural Studies at Boston University. Her research focuses on the global migration of literary forms; the transformation of theater aesthetics in transcultural interaction, and entertainment culture as agent of social change. Her publications include Shanghai Love: Courtesans, Intellectuals and Entertainment Culture, 1850-1910; and The Chinese Political Novel: Migration of a World Genre. -

Guanda Wu's MA Thesis
ABSTRACT NEGOTIATIONS OF CULTURAL AESTHETICS IN THE “REFORMS” OF MEI LANFANG AND THE “MEI PARTY” MEMBERS TO JINGJU IN CHINA’S EARLY REPUBLICAN ERA (1912-1937) by Guanda Wu China’s early Republican stage witnessed the rise of Mei Lanfang and his “reformed” jingju plays. Mei’s successful career in the early Republican era not only helped him to enjoy great popularity on the domestic stage, but also assisted traditional Chinese theatre in gaining a valuable confirmation from the West. Without a full awareness of the fundamental differences between Western and Chinese theatrical aesthetics, the “Mei Party” intellectuals allowed themselves to be appropriated by Western colonial aesthetics and the Western gaze. Their approach applied Western drama’s aesthetic principle to “reform” traditional jingju performance within China, while they plunged into a system of Orientalization that fit Western reception of traditional Asian art. In both cases, the traditional Chinese art’s enduring cultural identity was threatened by the Western cultural dominancy in a postcolonial context.

A Study of Two Selected Chamber Works for Piano and Violin by Bright Sheng
A Study of Two Selected Chamber Works for Piano and Violin by Bright Sheng A Night at the Chinese Opera and Three Fantasies by Zhou Jiang A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Russell Ryan, Chair Andrew Campbell Ellon Carpenter ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 © Zhou Jiang All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Our world has become smaller due to globalization and frequent cultural exchange between different countries. As a result, classical music is becoming increasingly global. There are a significant number of Chinese composers, including Tan Dun, Chen Yi, Zhou Long, and Bright Sheng, who have gained international attention. For a modern performer, familiarity with music outside of the Western canon is increasingly important. Bright Sheng is an internationally renowned Chinese-American composer who blends the heritage of traditional Chinese musical elements, traditional instruments, Chinese Opera and folk melodies with Western musical techniques. He infuses Chinese character into his works and introduces Chinese music to the Western classical music world. In this paper, I discuss two of Bright Sheng’s pieces: A Night at the Chinese Opera and Three Fantasies. Both works were composed in 2005 and are the only two compositions he wrote for violin and piano. Most pianists are not familiar with how to transfer or imitate the sounds of traditional Chinese instruments on Western musical instruments. The paper examines traditional Chinese techniques for Western instruments from A Night in Chinese Opera. Three Fantasies contains three distinct musical characters related to different musical elements from different regions of China.
