Description
Chinese Theater Collaborative (CTC) is a teaching and learning resource for modern iterations of traditional Chinese theater, developed by Ohio State University in collaboration with the Advanced Institute for Global Chinese Studies at Lingnan University. The site is organized around iconic plays tracing their afterlives across theatrical, filmic, print, and other media forms, with modules examining works such as Orphan of Zhao, Story of the Western Wing, Mulan, and Peony Pavilion. For each play, the site provides introductory pages on historical context, plot, characters, and theatrical conventions; separate modules for different early modern and modern productions showing adaptation and reinterpretation over time; and texts (scripts, librettos), images (performance photographs, costume designs, stage sets), and video clips documenting specific productions. As of 2025, the platform continues to expand with new modules added through annual Summer Translation Collaborative workshops.
