We interviewed the participating Chinese theatre professionals and academics during the 2-day event and provided full-coverage of the event through UK-based Chinese media platforms. We also supported scheduling and booking of the participants’ itinerary, providing consulting services around local cultural activities to ensure a high value and time-optimised event.

We offered consulting services for the Cultural Division of the Taipei Representative office in the UK, to introduce Mr. Wu Hsing-Kuo, the famous Taiwanese artist, actor and Director of the Contemporary Legend Theatre, to Londoners through local audience events. Through the well-organised event and workshop, the audience could easily come to understand the background of the artist himself, the style of traditional Chinese Opera in modern theatre, and what’s more, there was even a session to let people follow his demonstration and learn the movements of traditional Chinese Opera physically. Following a seminar at Asia House to promote the Contemporary Legend Theatre Company, we also fulfilled the role of audience and media management for the event.

We took charge in the project for CPAA to achieve the first UK-China theatre management experience tour at the end of 2014, organizing a 4-day event for 20 leading Chinese theatre managers and artistic directors to visit leading British theatres.

We provided touring management and marketing support for the National Theatre of China to tour their Fringe version of Green Snake. Starting from 20^thto 25^th August 2014, 6 shows in total were successfully completed and received positive feedback from the media and the audiences. It has been listed as “a must see” on ‘What’s on Stage’ and also received recommendation in reviews from The Scotsman, The Stage, Fest magazine and Fringe Review, amongst others.

This was the first time that Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture had planned to present a ‘Taiwan Season’ at Edinburgh Fringe, as the showcase of Taiwan’s emerging performing arts including contemporary dance, physical theatre and music concerts. We were chosen to organise the event and provide one-stop services, spanning event-planning, strategy development, venue pitching, tour management, contract management, PR, marketing third party management and reporting of final results.

5 selected performing arts companies achieved exciting reviews from the professional media and ordinary audiences within the 3 weeks full-run during Fringe, at three outstanding theatre venues in Edinburgh. To promote ‘Taiwan Season’ from a branding perspective, this creates an international stage on which to showcase more artists in the near future.

We provided consultant and curating services to a tourist destination town near Shanghai to develop an arts festival according to the local history and landscape. Through researching and analyzing case studies of famous international festivals and the unique local conditions, we had the inspiration to combine select of examples of international best practice with core Chinese values to run a great festival perfectly suited to the local community. The festival included performing arts, public interactive installations, family-friendly events and a light show, fashion show, academic forum, landscape photography competition and exhibition.

We provided consulting services to a leading Chinese property developer to understand the London theatre environment and cultural landscape to support their mid-size theatre development and programming project. One of the mostly highly developed cities in China, the average age of the population in Shenzhen is 28.9 years old, relatively younger than other Chinese cities. Most of the citizens have some overseas experiences, so they are more open-minded and curious about international pop arts. Furthermore, large numbers of foreign investors have brought a multi-cultural atmosphere to the city.  In combination this makes theatregoers a fashion life style and a new trend that is competing increasingly with cinema as a form of entertainment. According to these bases, we believe that a modern theatre space is urgently required and could add significant value, and provided our professional visions on the construction project.
