Welcome to another episode of Is This Real? Podcast

I am Cao Xi

This is the #44th episode of the programme but it’s also our very first English programme.

I am very proud to have Chris Cooper with me to open our podcast to the world.

Chris is a British playwright for children and young people and an outstanding practitioner and theorist of educational theatre and drama. We became colleagues and soon became friends since 2009. He is one of those people with an incredible energy and focus but also one of the few people who I feel I could depend on, intellectually, artistically, and personally. I learn constantly from talking to him and our conversations were one of the main forces to keep me on.
