Project goals
The goal of this project is to discuss the intervention space of performing arts on individuals, communities, and society through courses, workshops, and symposiums, and to guide students through specific practices to understand how performing arts have an impact on social life.
Brief description of the plan
This mutual learning program connects the Department of Theater Arts, the Department of Foreign Languages, the Institute of Philosophy, the Marine Technology and Design of the Academy of Marine Science and Technology, and the Social Enterprise Major. It also cooperates closely with the Meinong Hometown Association to try to bring performing arts out of the theater. , is no longer limited to the palace of high art, allowing students to understand that performing arts are closely related to daily real life, and further be able to cooperate with enterprises to achieve a close connection with Taiwanese society and the international community.
Team members will start from the three dimensions of social enterprise, life education, and applied drama, explore the intersection between performing arts and these three aspects, and expand the relationship between performing arts and contemporary Taiwanese social life through specific practical teaching cooperation and practical projects. The organic connection crosses the boundaries of disciplines and sows the seeds of arts education, allowing students to sustain self-learning and practice lifelong participation in arts.

Performing Arts and
Interspecies Life Education
Performing arts combined with clown performance methods help students express their inner confusion and achieve physical and mental balance. By listening to other people's or non-human life stories, while expressing themselves, cultivating empathy, establishing connections with the natural world, promoting self- and environmental healing, and helping students better get out of school and lend a helping hand.
Performing Arts and Social Corporate Responsibility
Through the social enterprise course, we will gain an in-depth understanding of the relationship between performing arts and social enterprise. Explore how to introduce private sector resources into performing arts through social enterprises, or integrate performing arts into social life through corporate models. Recently, many social enterprises have sought new business models amid the streaming wave. Performing arts help social enterprises innovate and express themselves, and ultimately establish new cooperation models, achieve resource exchange, cross-field cooperation, and break boundaries.
