Abstract

As drama performance integrates with film, television, and new media, the traditional "skill-centric" teaching model for drama performance majors fails to meet the demand for compound talents. The interdisciplinary teaching model — integrating literature, music, film production, and stage design — has become key for talent cultivation innovation. Using literature analysis and case studies, this study explores its application (curriculum integration, project-driven collaboration, interdisciplinary faculty), challenges (poor curriculum cohesion, single evaluation, insufficient resources, faculty competence gaps), and optimization strategies (modular curricula, multi-dimensional evaluation, resource integration, faculty development). It aims to support teaching reform and improve talent quality.
