□ Morry
In the autumn of this year, Sichuan's literary and art circles were "brushed" by an exciting news - the Sichuan opera "Straw Shoe County Order" won the 17th China Culture and Art Government Award Wenhua Award. Sichuan opera "Order of Straw Shoe County" is jointly promoted and produced by Sichuan Art Vocational College and Sichuan Provincial Sichuan Theater. In 1997, the Sichuan Youth Sichuan Theater Troupe of Sichuan Art Vocational College also won the 7th Wenhua Award for Sichuan Opera "Backwater".
Why did an art vocational college win another Wenhua Award? And how to polish the fine art? Chen Zhilin, chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, dean of Sichuan Art Vocational College and dean of Sichuan Theater, said the answer behind it: "integration of industry and education".
31 winners of the Wenhua Award and the Plum Blossom Award inherit the "original intention"
"This is not the first time, and I believe it will not be the last." Speaking of the award, Li Yangchun, secretary of the Party Committee of Sichuan Art Vocational College, revealed a set of eye-catching data, according to incomplete statistics, since the establishment of Sichuan Art Vocational College in 1953, it has trained 31 winners of the highest national art industry awards such as the Wenhua Award and the Plum Blossom Award, which accounts for more than 60% of the total number of such awards in Sichuan.
Chen Zhilin, the leading figure of Sichuan opera, Shen Tiemei, the "empress" of Sichuan opera, Hou Honglan, principal soloist of the National Ballet of China, Guo Feng, the first initiator of Chinese original music, and Deng Jie, the best supporting actress of the Golden Eagle Award and the Feitian Award, all graduated here. As one of the first 5 dance professional colleges established in China, the teachers and students of Sichuan Art Vocational College have won more than 30 top awards in the industry such as the national dance "Lotus Cup" and "Taoli Cup", and have undertaken foreign cultural exchange activities and major national cultural performances of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government all year round, and created dance dramas such as "The Undying Airwaves" and "Only This Green" Sichuan young director Zhou Liya also dreamed of studying here...
The distance from the podium to the stage, from the school to the theater to pursue their dreams, makes the students in school feel that they are not far away, and under the inspiration of the aura of their predecessors, the future can be expected. "The opportunity to share the stage with traditional masters and seniors in the industry, and to be exposed to the latest developments in the industry, is very rare for students, so I am also hungry for nourishment and full of awe for the stage." 21-year-old Li Yujie is an "old member" of the "Straw Shoe County Order" established three years ago. She was admitted to the Sichuan Provincial Sichuan Theater just after graduating this year, and recently joined the crew of the Sichuan Opera drama "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" while busy preparing for the 6th Sichuan Opera Young Actor Competition.
"Usually in the classroom practice room to teach students to sing, read and play, only put on the stage to test, exercise children's psychological quality and adaptability, can we internalize knowledge into professional performances." Kang Xiaolin, a teacher of the Sichuan Drama Department of Sichuan Art Vocational College, said.
The school motto and original intention of "inheritance and innovation, both virtue and art", under the protection and transmission of generations of Sichuan artists, are immersed in the youth of students "pulling out and growing", and are deeply buried in the high-quality art works created for the people.
A milestone of drama reform on the "chain" of industry-education integration and innovation
Sichuan opera "Backwater Weilan" is timeless and is one of the many original and blockbuster works of Sichuan Art Vocational College. This work won the Wenhua Award in 1997, and won 6 individual awards including Wenhua script, direction, music creation and performance. This achievement, created by Sichuan Art Vocational School, caused a sensation in the national education and literary circles, was hailed as a "milestone of drama reform", and also created a precedent for Sichuan's "integration of industry and education".
Zhang Tingxiu, who won the China Art Education Contribution Award, was the president of Sichuan Art Vocational College at the time. In his teaching, he found that if the art works of teachers and students in vocational art education are limited to the creation, rehearsal, and assessment of the campus, not only the vision of teachers and students is limited, but there is always a "wall" between them and the industry. Therefore, he consulted many literary and educational experts from all over the country to think about how to better integrate students into practice and explore new ways to cultivate high-quality technical talents. At the same time, under the call of Sichuan "revitalizing Sichuan opera" in Sichuan, with the support of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, he established the Sichuan Youth Sichuan Opera Troupe in school, taking the creation of plays as the starting point, quickly buying the script of the famous Sichuan opera writer Xu Di's "Backwater Weilan", gathering a group of teachers and students such as Xie Pingan and Tian Mansha, working together to polish the fine arts, and finally returning with a reputation. "Facts have proved that the integration of industry and education allows teachers' skills to be honed on the stage, breaking students' skills and industry barriers, and teaching and learning." Zhang Tingxiu said.
This inheritance continued in the "Straw Shoe County Order" 25 years later, and the industry and colleges were running in both directions. In the entire crew of "Straw Shoe County Order", seven of the leading actors and band members have studied, worked and graduated from Sichuan Art Vocational College. Chang Yi, vice president of Sichuan Provincial Sichuan Theater, recalled that when "Straw Shoe County Order" was promoted and polished, everyone in the crew had one heart, and no one was late from morning to night every day, and these details moved her. She believes that the "Straw Shoe County Order" uses the form of "integration of industry and education" to gather excellent forces of all ages in the industry, find good seedlings, and send talents.
Jiang Wanhai, a front-line teacher at Sichuan Art Vocational College with more than 30 years of work experience, is one of the protagonists in the play "Straw Shoe County Order", witnessing how "Straw Shoe County Order" has transformed from a school project in cooperation with the Deyang Shifang government into an artistic masterpiece that has been polished countless times. "A good drama is acted, and stage experience is very important for actors. I have built trust in my peers and on a national tour with my children. ”
Cultural feelings and human temperature sublimate "artistic height"
In the past 10 years, Sichuan Art Vocational College has played a number of ingenious combination punches, and the depth of "integration of industry and education" has benefited every teacher and student, warming the entire industry.
Liu Yan, secretary of the Party Committee of Sichuan Theater in Sichuan Province, believes that the high degree of integration and in-depth promotion of industry and education has condensed the centripetal force and combat effectiveness of the industry, and teachers, students and actors have watered the stage with love, making dreams shine, inspiring young people, and illuminating Sichuan opera people themselves. "The temperature of everyone's unison, the depth of humanity, ultimately shapes the height of art."
"Indeed, our relationship with the fraternal art troupe is thicker than water." In Li Yangchun's view, many backbones who came out of Sichuan Art Vocational College forged the soul of the industry on the one hand, and fed back school education on the other, and the two naturally integrated. Relying on the study platform for non-genetic inheritors and the cultural tourism continuing education network platform, Sichuan Art Vocational College has built a Sichuan cultural tourism development think tank and Sichuan art creation incubation center, converted research and innovation achievements, and won national awards and support such as the National Art Fund for many times.
In terms of specific operations, the school first deepens school-enterprise cooperation, tackles the mechanism of integrating industry and education, implements the "1 department, 1 park and 1 district" plan, the "1 major and 1 enterprise" plan, each department docks with the cultural art, cultural and creative parks that Sichuan and Chengdu focus on, and each major docks with 1 well-known enterprise. For example, at the new archaeological excavation site of the Sanxingdui site, which has recently attracted attention, there are students majoring in cultural relics restoration and protection of Sichuan Art Vocational College. The works of students majoring in environmental art and design also serve rural revitalization.
In addition, relying on the master studio, we innovate a new model of educating people, so that a number of Bashu intangible cultural heritage cultures such as Sichuan opera, silkworm cocoon paper Xuan silk painting are connected and synthesized with the master studio, docking the market, establishing a database, and promoting the inheritance and transformation of Bashu traditional culture. Comprehensively carry out the training of modern apprenticeship talents with Chinese characteristics, build a "dual subject" education training model, create a "double tutor" professional and teaching team, establish a "double standard" assessment and evaluation system, etc., and strive to do a good job in the upgrading of ace majors. In the future, Sichuan Art Vocational College will continue to help higher vocational art education in southwest China, establish a Sichuan sample of higher vocational art education, and form an art vocational education brand with international standards, Chinese models and Bashu yun.
