Nora Samosir is a professional theatre practitioner, having acted in more than 100 stage productions and also in films. Since 2018, she has been part of the duo Wandering Women with Bharatanatyam dancer Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara creating stage performances as part of their practice-as-research project based on the lives of Draupadi and Mary Magdalene. Her other research strand, combining her undergraduate training in linguistics with her postgraduate interest in the performance of popular culture, is in Hallyu - Korean pop music, serialised dramas and films. Currently at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore, she teaches Voice in the BA Acting and BA Musical Theatre programmes of the School of Dance and Theatre. Lionel Wee is a Provost's Chair Professor and linguist in the Department of English, Linguistics and Theatre Studies, National University of Singapore.
