Abstract

Throughout the Cultural Revolution, new dramas and controversies about drama were prominent in both culture and politics. The centerpiece of the new drama was the set of works proclaimed as revolutionary model operas in 1966. These occupied the professional stage and also formed the basis of the post-1970 amateur movement. Through this amateur movement much larger numbers of people could be reached than by reliance on professionals alone, and, more importantly, they could be involved as active participants rather than passive spectators.
