Theater’s early introduction to the arts
Print Edition
Shanghai Poly Grand Theater’s Summer Camp this year includes activities such as stand-up paddling, a bilingual musical program and percussion classes.
Knowing that artistic education should start early, the theater has incorporated the concept in its development and has formed a children’s chorus and ballet group.
The children’s chorus has spring and fall courses, and has shared stages with the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna Boys’ Choir.
Qin Tiji, chairman of Shanghai Poly Grand Theater, said the educational platform will give children more opportunities to study and display their artistic talent and help create an environment for artistic education.
The chorus has secured many heavy-weight awards at China International Chorus Festival and the World Peace Choral Festival.
An Jiuliu, the composer of the Dalian Song and Dance Ensemble, said the earlier children are exposed to arts the better, and they will enrich the children’s spirits for the rest of their lives.
Also, to make performing arts accessible to the public, the theater introduced a charitable performing arts experience day.
The theater has held an arts promotion seminar, themed plays experience camp, arts maestro classes and arts classes in communities.
Another initiative by the theater is the introduction of a monthly affordable performance with ticket prices at 30, 50 and 80 yuan. (US$4.3, US$7.2 and US$11.5).
The theater will make sure its concerts for children will be high-quality to make audiences stay loyal to the theater, Qin added.
