Beverly Yuen

An arts practitioner, Beverly Yuen trained for a year at Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards in 1998 and is the co-/founder of Theatre OX and In Source Theatre. Though she has directed more than 20 works, she finds that her passion runs much deeper in writing and acting. She has been touched by the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of arts, and is convinced that arts can lift the experience of the audience beyond a mundane terrestrial existence. From 2005 to 2008, she carried out a practice-oriented research on arts and spirituality titled Defining “Spiritual Theatre”: a Cross-cultural Study of Rituals and Traditional Body Forms in Singapore, funded by the National Arts Council. She keeps a blog at beverly-films-events.blogspot.sg.
