Chun-Hsiang Lai

I am a passionate professional theatre actor and director with extensive experience in a variety of research areas, encompassing the realms of the physical theatre, spatial dynamics, and actor's training. In recent years, I have intensified my focus on the psychophysical techniques of acting and how they enhance the quality of performances, seamlessly incorporating a heightened spatial awareness.
