Since its launch in the summer of 2018, the Small-scale Musical has been regarded as one of the highlight projects of National Taiwan Normal University’s University Social Responsibility (USR) initiatives. Through a series of short theatrical stories, the program invites both participants and audiences to imagine and experience diverse aspects of human life. At its core, the Micro Musical is driven by three central beliefs: to promote change, create connections, and reshape relationships.
Unlike traditional approaches that emphasize refined arts education, this program integrates the concepts of participatory art, socially engaged art, community-based arts education, and service learning. Beyond sparking collective creativity, it also strengthens participants’ aesthetic literacy, humanistic thinking, and social responsibility, while guiding them to reflect on pressing social issues.
This innovative intergenerational arts practice not only fosters diverse cultural emotions and shared experiences, but also encourages reflection on the relationships between individuals and society, highlighting the values of modern citizenship. It represents a relational aesthetics that shifts from “I” to “We.”
