The Reaserch of the Role and Function in Administrative Corporation of the National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center

[[abstract]]In 1975, Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall was established as the first national performing arts center in memory of the former president Chang Kai-Shek. However, this organization had not been granted a decided status because of the limitation of the administration organization system and lots of laws until the year of 1992 when it was officially named National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center. Afterward, its system was assessed many times in order to go with the international trend and domestic opinion; then the Administrative Corporation was passed by the Executive Yuan at the Third Reading on January 9, 2004. Through this system, the only international performing arts center in Taiwan was reformed and its long-term problem of uncertain status was also solved on March 1, 2004. In this research, I want to probe into the different roles and functions before and after the Administrative Corporation in National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center through literature analysis and deep interview. Besides, I hope to collect opinions and advices from related arts groups, scholars and experts in order to get the best conclusion and suggestion. By literature analysis and deep interview, I find National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center has more different roles after the Administrative Corporation, but it is still not fully- functioned, especially as a broker to business and government. In the part of Future Envision, non-governmental performing arts groups have great expectations to National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center. In sum, non-governmental performing arts groups approve Administrative Corporation of National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center, and they think there are gap between the former and later roles of National Chiang Kai Shek Cultural Center.
