Eight new performance spaces with distinctive features, including Beijing Tianqiao Art Center New Space Theater, Stars Theater Village, Zhengyici Theater, Drum Tower West Theater, Oriental Art Space, West District Theater, a33 Theater, and Mei Live, won this honor.
The "Three-Year Action Implementation Plan for Beijing to Build a "Performing City" (2023-2025)" clearly proposes to "cultivate new multi-scenario and multi-format performing arts spaces." The Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau took the lead in establishing a joint consultation mechanism at the urban and municipal levels to guide Dongcheng District, Xicheng District, Chaoyang District, and Tongzhou District to carry out pilot work on the identification of new performing arts spaces.
The eight new performing arts spaces awarded by Xicheng District this time include the Zhengyici Theater, which revitalizes the ancient theater with opera performances, the Stars Theater Village, represented by a small theater cluster, and the Drum Tower West Theater, which features multi-cultural consumption formats. There are also new performance venues such as theaters; there are also West District Theater and Mei Live located in commercial complexes that lead fashionable cultural consumption; Oriental Art Space and a33 Theater, which have settled in the cultural industry park to realize the mutual empowerment of content and space, etc.
As the core area of the National Cultural Center, Xicheng District is rich in resources for performance venues and performing arts teams. Commercial performance venues account for 23% of the city, and 77 artistic performance groups are gathered together. Xicheng District is also the only area in the city with district-owned professional art performance groups. Its performance box office accounts for about 40% of the city's performance, and the performing arts market is booming.
Jin Zhen, director of Xicheng District Culture and Tourism Bureau, said that Xicheng District will continue to increase efforts to cultivate new performing arts spaces, continue to improve new performing arts space service mechanisms, study and explore relevant support policies, launch more new performing arts spaces, and attract more high-quality performing arts companies Settling in, relying on the rich cultural tourism resources in the jurisdiction, based on new space and new experience, with a high starting point and high standards, we will create a sustainable new performing arts space that is rich in Xicheng's cultural characteristics and displays Xicheng's humanistic temperament.
