Mainland China's cultural sector has seen unprecedented growth in the past decade. This has included the construction of hundreds of new theatres and arts centres that offer artists and audiences new opportunities. The development of the human resources to match the new infrastructure is now a priority and the emerging arts producers in China, beyond the Eastern seaboard region, have few opportunities for professional development or international exchange. To address this issue and to assist in developing the UK's opportunities for new exchanges with China, an existing collaboration between ResCen Research Centre, Middlesex University and the Beijing Dance Academy, has been extended to include arts sector partners - China's Poly Theatre Group and the UK's Chinese Arts Now supported by Arts Council England.The proposal will create four pilot project presentations by leading and emerging UK producers, Emma Gladstone, Dance Umbrella; Farooq Chaudhry, Akram Khan Company; An-Ting Chang, Chinese Arts Now; and Joanna Dong, Performance Infinity. These will be presented at online Producers Forums hosted by the Poly Theatre Group in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Kunming and then made available online as part of a resource pack called The Producers Toolbox: The Way/Dào of the Producer. The hosting of the events in Poly Theatre Group venues will allow local participants to attend in person to view each presentation in a large-screen format and to take part in the UK-China discussions that follow the presentations via a modern and effective internet connection. Presentations will also be accessible to a wider audience online throughout mainland China and in Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as in the UK. Each Forum will be moderated by Beijing Dance Academy Vice-President, Professor Xu and ResCen Research Centre Director, Professor Christopher Bannerman. The UK presenters selected for this pilot project work in different contexts, are all experienced in international collaborations and their material will be carefully tailored for Chinese arts sector colleagues. Additionally, all presenters are widely acknowledged to be established or emerging leaders in their fields who are prepared to engage in lively dialogue and exchange, and to participate in any future collaborative projects.The project is designed to make the first critical link enabling an ongoing exchange between the arts professionals who can create new international collaborative projects and to share information on how to make best use of the available opportunities. The presentations address the new Covid-19 realities and include the discussion of digital performance as well as looking ahead to a time when live performance with an audience will again be possible. The pilot project also assesses the use of the online mode for exchange and network events with Chinese colleagues when it is not possible to engage in the personal interactions that are traditionally important in this sector. Further planned developments include the creation of presentations by Chinese producers which will feature at future online China-UK Forums before being added to The Producers Toolbox.

在过去的十年里，大陆中国的文化产业经历了前所未有的增长。这包括建造数百个新的剧院和艺术中心，为艺术家和观众提供新的机会。开发与新基础设施相匹配的人力资源现在是当务之急，而在东部沿海地区以外的中国，新兴的艺术制作人几乎没有专业发展或国际交流的机会。为了解决这个问题，并帮助开发英国与中国新的交流机会，米德尔塞克斯大学资源中心和北京舞蹈学院之间的现有合作已扩大到包括艺术领域的合作伙伴-中国的保利剧院集团和英国中国艺术现在由英国艺术委员会支持。提议将创建四个试点项目，由领先的和新兴的英国制作人艾玛·格拉德斯通，舞蹈雨伞，法罗克·乔杜里，阿克拉姆汗剧团，张安婷，现在的中国艺术和乔安娜·董，表演无限。这些作品将在保利剧院集团在北京、深圳、成都和昆明举办的在线制片人论坛上展示，然后作为名为《制片人工具箱：制片人的方式/Dáo》的资源包的一部分在网上提供。在保利剧院集团场馆举办的活动将允许当地参与者亲自出席，以大屏幕形式观看每个演示文稿，并通过现代和有效的互联网连接参与英国与中国在演示文稿之后的讨论。此外，中国还将在中国大陆、香港、台湾以及英国等地向更多的在线观众开放演讲。每届论坛将由北京舞蹈学院副院长徐教授和瑞森研究中心主任克里斯托弗·班纳曼教授主持。在不同背景下为这一试点项目工作挑选的英国主持人都有国际合作经验，他们的材料将为中国艺术界同行精心定制。此外，所有演讲者都是各自领域的知名或新兴领导者，他们准备参与活跃的对话和交流，并参与任何未来的合作项目。该项目旨在建立第一个关键环节，使能够创建新的国际合作项目的艺术专业人员之间能够进行持续的交流，并就如何最大限度地利用现有机会分享信息。演讲针对的是新的新冠肺炎现实，包括对数字表演的讨论，以及展望与观众现场表演将再次成为可能的时代。该试点项目还评估了当无法进行该领域传统上重要的个人互动时，与中国同事进行交流和网络活动的在线模式的使用情况。计划中的进一步发展包括创建中国制片人的演示文稿，这些演示文稿将在未来的中国-英国在线论坛上出现，然后添加到制片人工具箱中。
