Enforcing Cultural Equality and Arts Education

Weiwuying is the only national-level art center in southern Taiwan, with goals including promoting cultural accessibility and encouraging the healthy development of performing arts. With this responsibility in mind, Weiwuying will continue the task of encouraging new blood through Theatre Art Experiential Education Project. The project includes pre-performance courses, theatre experience courses and post-performance sharing sessions, allowing students to construct a method of art appreciation from different approaches and perspectives. Weiwuying aims to invite 800 high school students and teachers to participate in the project this year.
