Performing arts is a process of identity construction. It requires immersion into another experience and life in order to act vividly; playwrights do editing the plays – like storytellers edit the source of stories collected. In the process, creative decisions are made, new pieces of a creative expression are orchestrated, and, most importantly, they are made to be told / shown / performed.

I am delighted to be involved in Reading Assembly and to perform parts from Lungs by Duncan Macmillian and Oil by Ella Hickson. The plays discuss a mixture of vital social issues including ecology, politics, immigrants, etc. The plays provide a few stepping stone for analysing the authors’ viewpoint on these topics. The display, Utopia / Dystopia, at the Reading Assembly, Tate Exchange would be focusing on the ecology aspect. It will follow by a panel discussion on London 2050.
