As a Scholar-in-Residence at Denison University
in Granville, Ohio, Hsing-lin Tracy Chung
taught her students the art of Jingju theater,
ending the semester with an adaptation of
Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. Jingju
theater is based on aesthetics and the belief
that above all, any performance must be beautiful.
Chung has also played an important role in
making traditional Jingju come alive in Taiwan.
A graduate of the National Fu-hsing Dramatic
Arts Academy, she has appeared in more than
30 Jingju productions. She is currently the
dean of academic affairs at the National Taiwan
Junior College of Performing Arts.
