Description of Our Community: Most of the team members in Zhi-Shan Taiwanese Opera Club are teachers. Teacher Yu-chun Tseng of our school is an important member of the group. He has been serving the group with his passion for Taiwanese opera for quite a few years. As this is an amateur troupe, there are some operational modes that are different from other large-scale troupes. From our observation and interview with Zhi-Shan Taiwanese Opera Club, we saw the efforts they had made in order to make kids enjoy Taiwanese opera more. The students gained some basic knowledge of Taiwanese opera through this experience.

Project Description: After viewing the performance of “The Story of Liu Hai and Jinchan”, the project team members were led into the world of Taiwanese opera through firsthand interviews and experience. The facial makeup, combing, dressing, rehearsal prior to the performance, the forceful strength during the performance, the interviews after the performance, the melodies and weapons all grew a seed of Taiwanese opera in the hearts of the team members.
