Abstract

The integrated course of local themes and short videos has injected new vitality into drama performance education. By transforming regional cultural resources into performance materials and combining them with short video creation practice, students have achieved remarkable progress in performance skills, cultural cognition, and digital media application. Breaking through the traditional teaching model, the integrated course takes project-based learning as the carrier, guiding students to participate in the whole process from field research, script creation to audio-visual presentation, and cultivating their comprehensive performance literacy and innovative practical abilities. Teaching practice shows that this integration not only deepens students' understanding of and inheritance awareness for local culture but also enhances their expressive abilities to adapt to the new media era. It opens up an innovative path for the cultivation of drama performance talents and provides an effective way for the living inheritance and communication of local culture.
