o Tiffany, there is nothing more fascinating than constructing a world from scratch and present it to the audience, visualizing stories, people, and even abstract concepts, feelings, and philosophy. The designing and backstage team are the backbone of theatrical performance, and any trivial detail requires the efforts of many people. It is always a thrilling and inspiring every time working with people of different personalities, when creative minds gather to collaborate.
Tiffany is looking forward to exploring the possibilities of performing arts, keeping herself curious about the world full of wonder- she especially enjoys doing dramaturgical research, when she steps into different cultures and styles to understand the historic values of the objects and stories about them, and interpret them through her own lens and present them to the audience.
