Description: Zhang Ke (张苛 b. 1930) entered Huabei University in 1949 and became a founding choreographer of the Central Nationalities Song and Dance Ensemble (formerly the Central Nationalities Institute attached cultural work troupe) in 1952. He helped create early minority dance pieces such as "Harvest" 《丰收》, "Festival" 《节日》, and "Reba on the Grassland" (草原上的热吧). Unfortunately, he was labeled a "rightist" in 1957 and was not allowed to participate in major creative work for many years. After the Cultural Revolution, Zhang taught at the Central Nationalities Institute and became a close advisor to many rising dance stars of the 1980s, including Yang Liping (杨丽萍 b. 1958). He conducted extensive field research on minority dance and participated in the creation of several minority-themed dance dramas.
