LAUNCH OF CHINESE THEATER COLLABORATIVE DIGITAL RESOURCE CENTER
January 16, 2024, 8 pm EST
We invite you to the launch of the “Chinese Theater Collaborative/華語戲聚“ (CTC) digital resource center. CTC is a companion site to two recent publications devoted to making traditional Chinese drama accessible to a broader audience, How To Read Chinese Drama: A Guided Anthology (Columbia University Press, 2022) and How To Read Chinese Drama in Chinese: A Language Companion (Columbia University Press, 2023).
The “Chinese Theater Collaborative” (https://chinesetheatercollaborative.org, going live on 01/16/24) features over twenty original modules that examine modern renditions of iconic Chinese plays (Orphan of Zhao, Story of the Western Wing, Mulan and Peony Pavilion and more) in multiple formats (theater, film, TV, and comics among others).
These narrated and illustrated modules showcase the vibrant and diverse afterlives of traditional Chinese plays, while facilitating the integration of drama into the literature, culture, media, and language classroom.
