A few days ago, the "A Handful of Flowers" Shanghai Theater Academy's 2021 College Students Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Project Works Exhibition Season ended. The exhibition brought together five outstanding works from the 2021 projects, including the musical "To Evan Hansen", the Southern Xinjiang Life Aesthetics Exhibition "Senem", the puppet drama "Chameleon", the original drama "Happy Today" and the original drama "Forward". Through the stage, the audience can see that young students turn the troubles of adolescence and the confusion of growth into the emotional drive of artistic creation; the national customs of southern Xinjiang and the chinese nation are connected to the bloodline and become the source of inspiration for artistic practice; the attention and thinking of the real society, opening up a unique perspective of artistic conception; the pain and struggle of personal experience, giving gentle strength to artistic expression; a piece of red enthusiasm for the party, igniting the pure blazing heat of artistic language...

Among these five works, the original drama "Forward" is based on the theme of the centenary of the founding of the Party, telling the history of the Communist Party's struggle in the past hundred years of ups and downs and endless struggles. With the blessing of innovation, the red theme artworks created by students are more delicate, jumping out of the shackles of traditional red drama, turning emotions into the soul of artistic creation, and giving works the power to strike directly at the heart. Under the educational framework of the combination of innovative education in opera and ideological and political classrooms, students' artworks have both artistic depth and ideological height, providing new ideas for the creation of dramas with red themes. As a treasure of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, puppet drama "Chameleon" is adapted from Chekhov's novel of the same name, which skillfully combines traditional Chinese culture with Russian literature and art, colliding with artistic sparks. The Southern Xinjiang Life Aesthetics Exhibition "Sai Naim" is the first art exhibition in the Upper Theatre School to use the traditional costumes of Xinjiang as an exhibit, Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region with a vast territory and many ethnic groups. "Sai Naim" brings Xinjiang characteristics to the campus and innovates the way and concept of spreading the beauty of Xinjiang in an all-round way. The exhibition "Sainem" strengthens the ethnic exchanges, exchanges and blending in the campus, helping all ethnic groups to understand each other, respect each other, tolerate each other, appreciate each other, learn from each other, help each other, appreciate the beauty of southern Xinjiang, and feel the deep friendship.
