Your Artistic Background/Mission
Founded in 1988 and incorporated in 1989, the Kunqu Society is dedicated to the study, promotion and preservation of Kunqu, a genre of Chinese theatre, proclaimed as “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2001. Kunqu combines singing, dancing, and acting to perform works of literary masters of the Ming & Qing dynasties (16th -19th centuries).
Your Creative Influences
Since 1988, the Kunqu Society has been promoting kunqu through lectures, demonstrations and full-stage performances. The Society also offers the Kunqu Workshop for the general public to study the Kunqu art.
