The masterclass will be conducted Mr. Fang Yulin, a renowned and semi-retired Peking Opera of the young male role. He now lives in New York. Yulin will demonstrate to and teach Peking Opera acting, singing, and dancing practices with a classic scene entitled "General Lu Bu Tests the Gallant Horse."

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.

Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist, discussing their career; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.
