About Grass Stage Culture Outpost: Social Theatre Forum
“The Stage is a small world, and the world is a large stage”- Since daily life has become theatrical, there is no escaping a universal involvement in social theater. Each month the “Social Theatre”forum series will invite scholars and critics in the fields of culture and art to illuminate the stage on which we all dwell. To date, we have invited Christopher Connery, Zhang Xian, Gu Zheng, Rachel Freeman, Wang Xiaoming, Zhang Xianming and 2wheels4change group, and others to participate in the Grass Stage Culture Outpost as speakers and honored guests. It is our wish to engage various scholars’work and thought in order to foster discussion on topics in culture, art, and public life. Dedicated to the exploration of the relationship between culture, art and society, spreading knowledge, and interdisciplinary communication.
