M: So, Claire, you are into drama.
W: Yes, I’ve a master’s degree in Drama and Theater. At the moment, I am hoping to get onto a PHD program.
M: What excites you about drama?
W: Well, I find it’s a communicative way to study people, and you learn how to read people in drama. So usually I can understand what people are saying, even though they might be lying.
M: That would be useful.
W: Yeah, it’s very useful for me as well. I’m an English lecturer, so I use a lot of drama in my classes, such as role-plays. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well. At the moment, I am hoping to get onto a PHD course. I would like to concentrate on Asian drama and try to bring Asian theater to the world attention. I don’t know how successful I will be, but here is hoping.
M: Oh, I’m sure you will be successful. Now, Claire, what do you do for stage fright?
W: Ah, stage fright. Well, many actors have that problem. I get stage fright every time I’m going to teach a new class. The night before, I usually can’t sleep.
M: What? For teaching?
W: Yes! I get really had stage fright, but the minute I step into the classroom or get onto the stage, it just all falls into place. Then I just feel like "Yeah, this is what I’m made to do." and I am fine.
M: Wow, that’ cool.
