Project Coordinator, Cloudbreak
Field(s) of interest: Theatre, literature
Dayanna graduated from International Islamic University Malaysia in English Literature. Co-founder of Masquerade Productions, she has so far been in 14 theatre performances, and produced one at Istana Budaya which won her a directorial debut award. She wishes to own a place where literature, arts and good food come together someday. After a year of sharing and giving in this project she believes that all the ups and downs encountered only served to further build her desire to be on the team and make it happen. Dayanna would also like to continue her involvement in creative education, further her studies, write for magazines and maybe publish a book or two in the years to come.
She hates broccoli.

I hope to gain plenty of experience and knowledge from this exchange programme by learning and experiencing the culture over at the UK through observing their thought processes and mixing around with unconventional people. My ultimate aspiration is to change the current education system of Malaysia and I hope this project will help further my cause."
