· Forums· We undertake and participate in workshops, seminars and other forms of programs on intercultural development of the performing art area in Asia and Australia, and we are promoting mutual conversation, partnerships and networking.
We have a resonating and growing connection with a group of artists who express both Asia and Australian identities. We are actively present in the industry with the purpose of delivering unique cross-cultural performing art programmes, events, tours, linkages and projects. We’ve been attending local and national industry conferences, webinars and public forums since 2020. Our role encompasses cross-cultural performing arts expertise, as guest speakers, organisers and/or participants.

Theatre and acting workshop for Melbourne University students
Being invited as a guest coach, we were pleased to attend a workshop and shared much knowledge and expereince about the art of acting the Melbounre University students. We also led them to experience the charm of physical theater by interacting with them in music. Physical theater encompasses storytelling primarily through physical movement. Come and share your insights on physical theater or cross-cultural theater with us! We look forward to finding you in the comments.
