Biography
My name is Qi (t-si) and I’m an theatre specialist. My research interests include Dramatic theory, Theatre criticism and Applied Drama. I currently live in London, have the right to work, and I’m looking for an opportunity(like postdoctor) in which I can apply my knowledge and teaching skills. My journey into arts started 13 years ago. I found great interest in both Chinese and Western art and given that education was a sweet spot for me, I developed a passion for integrating art in education as well as in quotidian life.
