Weekly Recap 1.16.2026

Friday already? Had a very creative week, which always leaves me feeling refreshed. Recap of the week~

📚 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 with an English cram school in Taichung, Taiwan, using fairy tales as the learning vehicle. A classic for a reason, stories open imagination, language, and confidence in ways few other methods can. In Taiwan, drama in education is still relatively unknown, and it’s always a joy to bring it to different educational institutions where students, parents and teachers can experience firsthand how powerful it can be!

📝 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝟮. Reviewing their final workshop designs and seeing how each person brought a story to life in their own way was a real joy. So much creativity, care, and thoughtful pedagogy in action.

🤝 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 ISTA – Global Learning Through the Arts. From attending ISTA festivals with Bryan Lee as my drama teacher to being a trustee, it has been a deeply rewarding journey with the Ensemble Method at the centre. I’ve learned so much along the way. It’s inspiring to meet so many strong candidates eager to give back to the arts and education sector.

A week rooted in storytelling, creativity, and community.

Proud (as always) to be advocating for the arts, in classrooms, organisations, and beyond.
