Director/Producer/Facilitator
Trainee producer, Blueprint, Tobacco Factory Theatre, 2022-2023
​Blueprint is a training programme for emerging producers. Through the programme, I have developed a professional level of producing skills, thanks to the teachings of producer Graham Johnson and programming manager Ailie deBonnaire. Under the programme, I watched and critiqued shows as a representative of Tobacco Factory Theatre (TFT) during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022 and offered feedback on their programming. I co-produced TFT’s post-show talk REACT and a one-day festival known as SPARK at the TFT for the celebration of new works and emerging artists.

Founder, Chinese Theatre & Film Society (CTFS), University of Bristol, 2021
I started CTFS with two aims in mind. Firstly, I want to provide a safe creative space for theatre and film enthusiasts who use Mandarin as the main form of creative medium. Secondly, expanding the target audience to non-Chinese to explore the possibilities of cross-cultural theatre/films in the context of the globalised world. I was the first president of the society and under my leadership, the society manage to recruit over 50 members, staged performance with audiences of over 100 people, curated film events with over 1000 views online, established links with the National University of Singapore through facilitating the NUS-UOB Bicultural Theatre Exchange online event, as well as achieving the Bronze Award for the University of Bristol’s Balloon Accreditation Scheme. A scheme that seeks to recognise societies that display excellence through inclusion and community impact, amongst other things. During my tenure, I also held bi-weekly theatre workshops for amateurs.​
