Last month UNM Theatre and Dance Department students, Faculty, and Staff traveled to Beijing, China to participate in the Asian Theater Education Center 7th Annual Theater Festival.

At the Central Academy of Drama, the students participated in workshops, the whole team got to see theatre from around Asia, and engage in cultural exchange and conversation with theatre artists from around the continent.

We are truly honored to have been a part of this festival, and look forward to next year! And more photos of our journey to come!
