Since 2004, Shanghai’s Downstream Garage has been a center for independent artists who challenge the conventions that limit the language, physicality, and content of contemporary Chinese performance. By presenting unregistered open rehearsals and providing space free of charge, Downstream minimizes the commercial pressures and strict governmental oversight that typically confine Chinese artists.
