On the morning of this day, one of the important activities of the drama festival, the 2020 Joint Conference on Cooperation between Art Universities, was held in Tingtao Town, Xichang City. The heads of important art universities from Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei and other places gathered here to discuss cooperation and discussions on how to transform art teaching resources in Daliangshan and promote the development of local art education and industry.
As a fundamental strategy to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty, education plays a huge and crucial role in the process of poverty alleviation. For Daliangshan, which has rich cultural resources and obvious artistic advantages, can art education, as an important part of education, help Daliangshan to consolidate the foundation of poverty alleviation and seek more long-term development for the local area?
This is the focus of this conference, and it is also the reason why drama education is an important fulcrum of the Daliangshan International Theatre Festival. Daliangshan is taking art education as an important development direction, which is also out of this thinking.
National art colleges and universities made suggestions at the joint meeting of the Daliangshan International Drama Festival
In fact, during this year's Liangshan International Drama Festival, drama education has always been an important section. A series of activities have been carried out one after another, and teachers from Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Sichuan Film and Television Academy, Chengdu University and other colleges and universities have brought a total of nearly 50 interactive teaching activities. In addition, Wan Ma Jiancuo, founder of Beijing Wanma Dance Troupe, and Tang Ye, director of the drama "Yang Mahjong", respectively carried out two master drama classes in the local area.

"Liangshan is a fertile land for national culture and art, and the sons and daughters of Liangshan can sing when they talk, and dance when they can walk." In the face of the heads of art colleges and universities across the country, Su Zhengqing, director of the Liangshan Prefecture Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, introduced Liangshan's unique and rich cultural traditions and unique advantages in art.
In recent years, various literary and artistic works produced and created by Liangshan Prefecture have also won many awards. Including the dance "Ajania" and "Schiller's Red Dress" created by the Liangshan Song and Dance Troupe, the film "My Saint", the TV series "Yihai Alliance", "Soma Blossom", the national opera "Yi Red", the musical "When Love", etc., won dozens of domestic and international awards such as the Feitian Award, the Golden Eagle Award, and the Lotus Award.
"The uniqueness of Liangshan national culture is not found by other ethnic groups, whether it is music, dance, drama or fine arts, it is very distinctive, and has rich cultural heritage resources." In the view of Sha Yao Ayi, a Yi dancer and professor at the Dance College of the Central University for Nationalities, Liangshan wants to develop art education, first of all, to protect these cultural sources and roots. On this basis, talent training is the key.

As for how to make good use of various licensing bases for art education and talent training, the heads of various colleges and universities have expressed their own views.
Guo Lei, dean of the Beijing Dance Academy, believes that the Daliangshan International Drama Festival should have world influence, and the concept of "drama +" is very important, and cultural creativity, education, talents, incubation, and tourism are all directions that can be expanded. In terms of specific education, in his view, talent training is a process of "moisturizing things silently", "in the process of improving their understanding of beauty, we need to slowly guide them from the course content and social environment little by little." ”

Zhu Zhiyu, a teacher at the Academic Affairs Office of Shanghai Theatre, said at the scene that the teaching practice base of Shanghai Theater Academy will implement a practical learning cooperation model for liangshan's children's drama education sector. In addition, she also suggested "industry-education integration", pushing students to relevant enterprises to learn, strengthening the off-campus practice of cooperation between universities and industry and education, and creating a new mechanism for universities and enterprises to jointly cultivate talents.
Huang Sheng, director of the Acting Department of Chongqing University's Meishi Film School, suggested that he hopes that the Daliangshan International Drama Festival will set up a university section in the future. He said that on the platform of the theater festival, colleges and universities should not only participate in relevant content, but also serve as a subject of talent incubation, "hoping that Daliangshan can open this precedent." At the same time, he mentioned that "art education can improve people's aesthetic awareness and humanistic literacy, and achieve the purpose of spiritual poverty alleviation." ”
The Shanghai Conservatory of Music came to the Daliangshan International Drama Festival a week earlier this year, deeply participated in many activities such as the opening performance of the theater festival, and also walked into Sanhe Village, Sanchahe Township, Zhaojue County, to carry out a drama workshop to open a special "music class" for rural primary school students. Xu Xu, secretary of the Shangyin Party Committee, said that in the future, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music will strengthen cooperation between the two sides and vigorously support the development of culture and art education in Daliangshan by incorporating the research on Yi music culture into the work of the Shangyin He Luting Advanced Music Research Institute, and sending exchanges of personnel. When talking about what suggestions there are for the development of education in Daliangshan, it is mentioned that the Daliangshan area can strengthen the cultivation of professional talents and appropriately compile relevant art teaching materials suitable for the development of education in Daliangshan.
Liu Liyun, dean of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, believes that the Daliangshan International Drama Festival can give Daliangshan more diversified and far-reaching spiritual and cultural connotations. At the exchange meeting, he put forward the idea of establishing the "Liangshan Art Education University Alliance".
At the scene, Hu Jinchao, vice president of Xichang College, who has trained more than 3,500 artistic talents for Liangshan, said that he very much agrees with the suggestions of establishing a university alliance for Liangshan art education, setting up college students in the drama festival, and college sections. "We are fully prepared to deeply integrate into the Daliangshan International Theatre Festival."
Ma Hui, member of the Standing Committee of the Liangshan Prefecture CPC Committee and secretary of the Xichang Municipal CPC Committee, used the phrase "like a spring breeze" to describe the feelings of so many art colleges and universities helping Liangshan art education. He said that theatrical art is an innate ability for the people of Liangshan. Therefore, in the future, Xichang also plans to build a drama town, set up a drama industry fund, give full play to the advantages of using the educational resources of various educational bases, incubate the original innovative repertoire, industrialize drama in Xichang, and make drama a foothold and rooting point for the development of Xichang.
