Tungqu Cultural and Creative Center Introduction
Taichung City Tun District Arts and Culture Center, one of the 12 flagship projects of the former Taichung County Government, aims to balance cultural development in the mountain and coastal areas of the Tun District. It is tasked with the responsibility of advancing the arts and culture in the area, with a vision of shaping Taichung into a "Cultural Capital." The Taichung City Tun District Arts and Culture Center (formerly known as the Taichung County Tun District Arts and Culture Center) was officially established in July 2010. After the county and city merger on December 25, 2010, it was renamed as the Taichung City Tun District Arts and Culture Center, and subsequently changed to its current name on January 1, 2013, due to organizational restructuring. The center focuses on performing arts and music, while also facilitating art exhibitions and cultural promotion. In the future, it will actively host various artistic performance activities from the perspective of promoting art education, integrating teaching, community life, and fostering international cultural and artistic exchanges. Covering nearly 5 hectares, the center has a total floor area of 22,100 square meters with three floors above ground and one basement. It embodies the concepts of "Tai Chi, Middle Way" and "Art, Quality, Architecture" in its thoughtful architectural design. The main multifunctional auditorium has 1,150 seats, and the experimental theater has 200 seats. The indoor spaces include: Exhibition Hall: Basement level (Exhibition Room B), First floor (Exhibition Room A, Aesthetic Space), Second floor (Aesthetic Collection Hall, Parent-Child Reading Room), and Third floor (Large Conference Room with 198 seats). Performance Hall: Auditorium (1,150 seats), Experimental Theater (200 seats), where the experimental theater is an open black space known as a "Black Box" theater. The overhead suspension system consists of tensioned steel cables, allowing staging and lighting to be suspended from any point, enabling performers to arrange the stage and audience seating according to their vision, making it suitable for experimental performances, drama, dance, concerts, and similar types of shows. The auditorium is designed as a proscenium stage, divided into five sections: main stage, left side stage, right side stage, back stage, and orchestra pit. Adjacent to the right side stage are two individual dressing rooms, while the second floor has five individual dressing rooms, three medium-sized dressing rooms, one large dressing room, and one rehearsal room. The seating capacity is 1,150, making it a multifunctional venue suitable for music, dance, theater, and other performances. The outdoor plaza serves as an ideal location for hosting outdoor performance activities, featuring an open-air theater, Ficus microcarpa area, Lanting Square, and more. In the afternoon, families can enjoy the exciting performances and take leisurely strolls through the park, spending quality leisure time.
