Tunic District Cultural Center Introduction
Taichung City Tun District Arts Center, one of the 12 flagship projects of the former Taichung County Government, aims to balance cultural development in the mountainous and maritime Tun District and is tasked with promoting cultural development in the area. Looking at the bigger picture of Greater Taichung, it aspires to shape the vision of being a "Cultural Capital." The Taichung City Tun District Arts Center (formerly known as the Taichung County Tun District Arts Center) was officially established in July 2010. After the merger of the county and city on December 25, 2010, it was renamed the Taichung City Tun District Arts Center, and due to organizational restructuring, it was renamed to its current name on January 1, 2013. The Tun District Arts Center focuses on performing arts and music while also housing visual art exhibitions and cultural promotion functions. In the future, it will actively hold various artistic and cultural activities from the perspective of promoting arts education, integrating teaching, community life, and fostering international cultural and artistic exchanges. Covering nearly 5 hectares with a total floor area of 6,700 ping, the center consists of three above-ground floors and one basement. It is a thought-provoking building based on the concepts of "Tai Chi, Middle Way," and "Art, Substance, Architecture." The main multifunctional auditorium has 1,150 seats, and the experimental theater has 200 seats. The indoor spaces include: an exhibition hall on the basement level (Exhibition Room B), the first floor (Exhibition Room A, Aesthetic Space), the second floor (Aesthetic Collection Gallery, Parent-Child Reading Room), and the third floor (Large Conference Room with 198 seats). In the performance hall, the auditorium (1,150 seats) and experimental theater (200 seats) are included. The experimental theater is a black open space, also known as a “Black Box” theater, featuring a suspension system with tension cables allowing scenery and lighting to be hung anywhere. Performers can arrange the stage and audience seating according to their vision, making it suitable for highly experimental performances, dramas, dances, concerts, and other types of shows. The auditorium is designed as a proscenium stage, divided into a main stage, left stage, right stage, backstage, and orchestra pit. There are two individual dressing rooms next to the right stage, and on the second floor, there are five individual dressing rooms, three medium-sized dressing rooms, one large dressing room, and one rehearsal room. The audience seating totals 1,150, creating a multipurpose venue suitable for music, dance, and drama performances. The outdoor plaza is the best place for holding outdoor performances and features an open-air theater, a peanut tree area, and Lanting Plaza, where people can enjoy exciting performances in the afternoon, stroll leisurely around the park, and have a wonderful holiday.
