US Fulbright Scholar Dr. Peter Zazzali spent 4 April to 7 April visiting Singapore’s LASALLE College of the Arts, one of the leading institutions of its kind in Asia. The goal of the visit was to learn about LASALLE’s bicultural approach to training actors. Dr. Zazzali led workshops with two groups focusing on western pedagogies while observing his colleagues deploy Asian methodologies to the same students.

On the second day of his visit, he presented his scholarship on entrepreneurial approaches to actor/arts training in tertiary institutions to a group of colleagues in the form of a 90-minute session, including a 45-minute PP demonstration.

In addition to these formal activities, the Scholar had numerous discussions with colleagues about respective scholarship and practice, thereby facilitating further facilitating his research on intercultural approaches to actor training. These conversations also prompted suggestions for future exchanges between LASALLE and his university in the US (Kansas). In sum, the visit was a rewarding intercultural experience in support of his scholarship and practice as well as benefiting LASALLE’s students and faculty.
