Founder's Story
Qingyang Wang, Founder of Waterway Workshop
As an artist, Qingyang performs, writes, moves, facilitates and produces. Having started performing on stage and making theatre since she was a child, she holds an MA Theatre Practice from the University of Exeter. Her current practice features an interdisciplinary and intercultural interest, creating a poetic space for personal connections and art as healing. Her works have been presented at the likes of FUSE International Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and Edinburgh Fringe (The Fear).
The idea to build a space dedicated to easy-to-access theatre workshops seeded in the spring of 2021 after experiencing a bleak theatre scene impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic (yes, as the so-called ‘Covid generation’). Getting aware of the challenges in the theatre training scene and the fact that theatre can be a ‘closed community’ through her personal experiences as an artist and extensive research, Qingyang started to develop the idea of Waterway Workshop.
Coming from a practical theatre background and having benefited from liberating training approaches, she knows about the magic that good workshops can do and is passionate about facilitating personal development.
