Shanghai Theatre Academy, Shanghai (China): During my decade long connection with Republic of China’s most important theatre and arts academy, I conducted masterclasses, symposiums, transcultural presentations, speeches, lectures, workshops, curated festivals and served on the Jury Board. My areas of expertise included culture, society, state and individual, national educational philosophy, cultural preservation, and cultural exchange. My speeches, lectures, and workshops particularly emphasized importance of cultural knowledge creation leading to improved employment opportunities by integrating cultural practice within state policy, its legal and administrative framework.
