Tung District Cultural and Creative Center Introduction
Taichung City Tun District Art and Culture Center, one of the 12 flagship projects of the former Taichung County Government, aims to balance the cultural development of the mountainous and coastal Tun area. It takes on the responsibility of cultural development in the Tun District while focusing on the broader vision of Taichung City to shape the vision of a "Cultural Capital." Established in July 2010 (originally named Taichung County Tun District Art and Culture Center), it was renamed Taichung City Tun District Art and Culture Center after the merger of the county and city on December 25, 2010. Due to organizational adjustments, it was again renamed on January 1, 2013. The Tun District Art and Culture Center focuses on performing arts and music while also integrating art exhibitions and cultural promotion. In the future, it will actively organize various art performances from the perspective of art education, linking teaching, community life, and promoting international cultural and artistic exchanges. Covering an area of nearly 5 hectares, with a total floor space of 6,700 ping, it consists of three above-ground floors and one basement level, demonstrating an architectural thought born from the concepts of "Tai Chi, Middle Way," and "Art, Simplicity, Architecture." The main multifunctional auditorium has 1,150 seats, while the experimental theater accommodates 200 seats. 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), with the experimental theater being a black open space, also known as a "Black Box" theater. The suspended system above the theater uses tension steel cables, allowing for flexible placement of scenery and lighting, enabling performers to arrange the stage and audience seating according to their own concepts, suitable for highly experimental performances, dramas, dance, concerts, and other types of performances. The auditorium is designed as a proscenium stage, divided into the main stage, left side stage, right side stage, backstage, and orchestra pit. Two personalized dressing rooms are located next to the right side stage, and the second floor has 5 personalized dressing rooms, 3 medium-sized dressing rooms, 1 large dressing room, and 1 rehearsal room. The seating capacity totals 1,150, making it a multifunctional venue suitable for music, dance, drama, and various performances. The outdoor plaza is an ideal location for hosting outdoor performance activities, featuring an open-air theater, Camphor tree area, and Lanting Plaza. In the afternoon, visitors can enjoy splendid performances with family and friends while leisurely strolling through the park, spending a wonderful holiday time.
