Beijing
(The cultural centre of China)

Shanghai
(The most fashionable city in China)

Hong Kong
(The most Westernized city in China)

Around the world performing

arts play an important role in society, China is no different.

Many Chinese people of all generations enjoy watching theatre, opera and dancing, whether it be live oron the television. Such performances bring smiles of delight to people of ages, from small children to the elderly. Nowadays there are many talent competitions on the television which encourage the younger generation to dream of becoming a star! However, most of these young people have nowhere they can receive performing arts training because the fees are too

expensive or there are no schoolsin their region.

The best performing arts schools are concentrated in the Beijing region, there are a few more in Shanghai, but hardly any in the rest of China. Those who dream of fame flock to Beijing, the Hollywood of China!

Beijing is the centre of performing arts education in Asia.

The top three are based there:

state schools

private performing arts schools
There are also manyset up by professional actors/directors etc. Beijing All Stars Performing Arts School, Dadi Art School and Zhao Beshan Performing Arts School.

The National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, The Central Academy of Drama and The Beijing Film Academy.

Those who make it into these prestigious institutions are almost guaranteed to become professionals in their chosen subject.

These are alsohighly recognized because they provide professional teachers and contacts in the industry. However, there are few places and the entrance requirements are extremely demanding.

Non of these schools, however successful and well-connected in China, have contacts with the Western performing arts industry. This is where LIPA will be at an advantage.
