Off to Beijing

Natasha and Oliver are off to Beijing later today. They’re going to be supporting the Beijing end of East to East on Wednesday evening in the Courtyard at the Central Academy of Drama and see the premiere of the two winning plays from the recent online competition, both of which have now been turned into short films. We’ve seen rough cuts of Asif Kapadia’s version of Xing Ding’s My World, which is stunning, but have yet to see what 223 (a Beijing film director) has made of Ding Tian’s Goodbye Heaven. As well as their involvement in East to East, they’re going to busy meeting people to discuss plans for the summer, when the National Youth Theatre and 100 Words will be returning to Beijing.
