戴中豪 (Howard Dai) 在台灣長大時,特別喜歡看揭曉樂透中獎號碼的電視節目。這類節目以及其他遊戲節目的華麗與刺激感,讓這位現居溫哥華的演員兼 rice & beans 劇團的駐團藝術家留下深刻印象。

戴中豪 (Howard Dai) 在台湾长大时,特别喜欢看揭晓乐透中奖号码的电视节目。这类节目以及其他游戏节目的华丽与刺激感,让这位现居温哥华的演员兼 rice & beans 剧团的驻团艺术家留下深刻印象。这也成为他创作《Dream Machine》(梦想机器)的灵感来源——一场大型沉浸式交互演出,将造梦与彩券抽奖融合在一起。

Dai plays two roles—Ding and Policeman—in Leanna Brodie and Jovanni Sy’s play Salesman in China, which is part of the Stratford Festival.

Gateway Theatre is also offering five free audio plays by talented artists of Asian ancestry as part of its 2023-24 season.
