Fairy Tale Drama Workshop in Taiwan and More: Weekly Recap, 16 January 2026

· 1 min read

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.
