I am running for the Excom member on behalf of the IATC China section. Since its establishment in 2007, our China section has actively participated in in various IATC activities. In 2014, we successfully hosted the 27th IATC congress. Moreover, we have successfully organized two IATC Young Critics seminars and two Asian Critic conferences. I have engaged in discussions with Meng Jinghui, the art director of Anaya Theatre Festival, and he has agreed to host the IATC Young Critics seminar in June 2025 during the festival. Additionally, I am collaborating with several other theatre festivals in China. I have already talked with Stan Lai, the art director of Wuzhen Theatre Festival, and he has agreed to organize an event like IATC critics’ forum during their festival in October 2025.
