Pei Qin Thong

Versatile, driven and reliable, I am an arts manager, theatre director and educator with 12 years of experience self-producing, managing and multi-tasking across multiple projects, research and events. Effectively bilingual, I am exceptional at communications with strong social and team-bonding skills. I am organised, detailed with planning, and can effectively lead teams in high paced environments.

I have also initiated and been involved in more than 40 theatre productions as an independent theatre director.
