The first session


THE 1st
ONTHESPOT Experimental Festival



The “On The Spot art plan", initiated by YINZI theatre independently, aims to invite creators in various fields to practice their creation. It’s a biannual stage exchange program. In the second session, it developed into "ONTHESPOT Experimental Arts Festival”.

The planning of the art plan is to show our understanding of the experimental theater, so as to show the artistic ideas of YINZI theater for avant-garde, experiment and creativity, hoping to inject more fresh possibilities into the current art creation through continuous activities.




The 1st "On The Spot" was from November 3 to November 23, 2013, with the theme of "multi cross-border experiment of stage art". We invited artists who was doing experimental exploration in voice, body, poem, drama and music to participate. There are not only excellent avant-garde artists, but also local youth creative groups. We hold successfully completed five performances, two workshops and two lectures.
