Under the leadership of mentors from the Shanghai Theatre Art Center, teachers and students from rural areas embark on a wonderful and unforgettable journey of drama exploration with imagination and adventurous spirit. The "Midsummer Night Drama Dream - Rural Drama Summer Camp Aesthetic Education Enhancement Plan", hosted by the Shanghai Theatre Art Center and organized by "One Village", has recently opened in Chengdu.
As a cultural expert and a self selected project for the "Four Batches" talent, the "Midsummer Night Drama Dream - Rural Drama Summer Camp Aesthetic Education Enhancement Plan" relies on the senior background of more than 20 years of deep cultivation in drama education at the Shanghai Drama Art Center, aiming to promote the development of the drama art aesthetic education industry and explore more possibilities for youth quality education through drama education.
Since 2009, the Shanghai Drama Art Center has been cooperating with the "One Village" public welfare organization, jointly donating campus facilities such as libraries and cement playgrounds to rural schools. Volunteers from Shanghua and "One Village Primary School" visited the homes of students in need, learned about the situation on site, and provided educational assistance.

The "Midsummer Night Drama Dream - Rural Drama Summer Camp Aesthetic Education Improvement Plan" is divided into student classes and teacher classes. In the student class, Wen Yang, a national first-class actor and actor from the Shanghai Drama Art Center, shared his artistic experiences and life stories with 17 classmates. Through a series of drama games, the students learned what drama is, what the basic elements of drama are, and experienced the process of rehearsing drama segments. Wen Yang said, "I hope drama can expand children's emotional imagination space and enrich their emotional thinking. If they encounter difficulties in the future, I hope this rich emotional imagination space can help them cope."
In the teacher's class, Liu Shuchen, a national second level director and director of the Shanghai Theatre Art Center, explained the basic theory of drama to 15 rural teachers. Through storytelling games, idiom story performances, and other experiences, she led the rural teachers to experience the entire process of the birth of a play. Liu Shuchen said, "Providing rural teachers and children with the opportunity to learn about drama, love drama, and benefit from it will be my lifelong goal."
Xu Jian, Executive Vice President of the Education Work Party School of Yangpu District, Shanghai, and Director of the Education Management and Training Department of Yangpu District Education College, delivered a lecture on "Learning from the Spirit of Yu Yi and Devoting Yourself to Teaching and Educating People" to the teaching class. He encouraged everyone to learn from the Spirit of Yu Yi, keep in mind that "ideals are in their positions, beliefs are in their actions", and strive to be a great teacher with a broad pattern, a great realm, and a great sentiment.
