Dance of The Firebird
Bart Roccoberton, professor of dramatic arts in puppetry in the School of Fine Arts, collaborated with Jo Cheng ’99 M.A. to direct the historic production of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet The Firebird in Taiwan last year.

Cheng, who leads The Puppet & Its Double Theater in Taiwan, collaborated with the Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra to develop the production.

Stravinsky’s music was brought to life by the 90-piece orchestra, a cast of 19 contemporary and traditional puppeteers, children’s theater performers, dramatic actors, ballet and contemporary dancers and Chinese opera performers.
