Hello everyone, welcome! It's been a while since we've had an English episode.

Ning-Shing is an immigrant from Taiwan, where she lived for about 40 years, and has settled down in NJ for about 25 years. She is bilingual.Ning-Shing has been involved with the psychodrama community for 24 years. She has helped many professionals in Asia be certified in the USA, at the early time when Taiwan Psychodrama Association was in the preparation stage and later built a reciprocal relationship with ABE. She has also integrated art therapy with psychodrama, adding another dimension to her bridge role. In 2016, she completed her second master's degree in creative art therapy, continuing her journey to become a certified art therapist.Host: Clara a drama therapist graduated from NYU in 2024, founder and president of MOU Theatre at NYU, former vice president of CFan Chinese Theatre Club at UCLA.
