Looking forward to Shanghai

This weekend we fly to Shanghai prior to running a week of workshops at Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre (where we’ll be part of the Asia Contemporary Theatre Festival), Shanghai Theatre Academy and Shanghai World Foreign Language Middle School. We established links with all three places in April and next week’s programme directly follows on from our initial visit. We’re going to be working with different groups of people – professional writers, drama students, school teachers and pupils. Given the workload, we’ve decided to take another theatre director with us – Paul Robinson, whose day job is Artistic Director of Theatre 503. It’s his first time in China and we’re looking forward to seeing what he makes of Shanghai.
