Throughout her career, Di has been passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that connect language, culture, and real-world contexts. Before joining Â鶹Éç, she served as an IB PYP Bilingual Coordinator, Grade Level Lead, and MYP/DP Teacher, where she led initiatives to strengthen bilingual learning and designed inquiry-driven experiences that encouraged students to communicate confidently, think critically, and appreciate diverse perspectives. Her teaching experience includes bilingual education, Chinese Language Acquisition, Chinese Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies, and Chinese Theory of Knowledge.

Di believes that language learning extends beyond acquiring linguistic skills, it is a gateway to understanding cultures, building empathy, and developing meaningful connections with others. She strives to create student-centred learning environments where students feel supported and empowered to take ownership, express their ideas, and construct their own learning journeys.

The arts have also been an important part of Di’s own journey. Having learnt piano and vocal singing from a young age, she continues to explore dance as a form of creative expression. Deeply committed to the transformative power of the arts, Di has also served as a Chinese Drama Production Lead, working closely with directors and students to develop and stage performances. Through drama, she nurtures students’ creativity, collaboration, confidence, and sense of agency, providing opportunities for them to explore human experiences and connect with others through storytelling.

Synopsis:

Experience the unsettling world of Metamorphosis, where physical theatre and expressionistic performance bring Franz Kafka’s haunting story to life. Gregor Samsa wakes up transformed into a monstrous insect and and quickly discovers that his family’s love is far more fragile than he imagined. As fear replaces compassion and usefulness becomes the measure of human value, Gregor is pushed toward heartbreaking isolation. Disturbing, moving, and unforgettable, Berkoff’s adaptation is theatre that crawls under your skin and refuses to let go.

Content advisory: This production contains flashing and strobe lighting, as well as theatrical haze and smoke effects. Patrons with photosensitive epilepsy or sensitivities to these effects are advised to take appropriate precautions.

Metamorphosis is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
