Between the"Shanghai Ballet"and the"Oriental Art"versions,other influential adaptations include the"Frontline"version(Dance Drama Fan Yi),and two versions produced by Beijing Dance Academy(Qing Shang and Thunder and Storm).The various dance drama adaptations of Thunderstorm have transformed and deepened the expressive concepts of dance drama.Notably,Zhao Xiaogang's emphasis on the idea of"dance conveying drama"in the"Oriental Art"version highlights not only a rich theoretical concept but also an elevated understanding of contemporary expressive concepts in dance drama.
