Overview

"This thesis will explore the curriculum and training patterns of the relatively uniform Chinese acting education and training system for students in college with different career plans. Chinese undergraduate acting training is very systematic. Nearly all the professional courses of Chinese acting majors are fixed and uniform, according to this standard system. The courses are divided into four categories: vocal, physique, lines, and acting. All undergraduate students majoring in acting study these courses for four years. This research addresses the following questions: What differences exist in acting training between various acting colleges? What do students think about the acting training they have received? How does this training system impact students' acting careers after graduation?" -- Abstract
