History

The school was founded in April 1938 as Lu Xun Academy of Arts (or Luyi) by Chinese Communist Party leaders, including Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, in the town of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, as a training center for Communist artists. [1] [2] : 144  [3] : 113  On 2 August 1939, Luyi moved into the Qiao'ergou Catholic Church, where it became a cultural center for Yan'an. [2] : 144 

The school had a significant role in the Yangge Movement (late 1942 to 1946). [4] : 103  The movement adapted the traditional dance genre of yangge to incorporate socialist themes. [5]

Artists of the academy adapted folklore into the opera of TheWhite-Haired Girl. [4] : 171  [6] : 151  The opera was first performed in April 1945 in Yan'an as a tribute to the Seventh National Congress of the CCP. [4] : 171  It was one of the first large scale theatrical productions created in Yan'an. [7] : 161 

The school moved to Shenyang in 1945, spun off its music department in 1953 (which later became Shenyang Conservatory of Music), and was renamed Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 1958. [8] [9]

The composers of the original Lu Xun Academy in Yan'an and Shenyang include Ma Ke (composer) who composed the opera The White-Haired Girl , Chen Zi composer of the 1954 Liu Hulan (opera) and others. [10]

The Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts has two campuses: Shenyang Campus in downtown Shenyang, and Dalian Campus in Jinshitan, Dalian. [11]
