Paul Tei is a multidisciplinary artist who received his MFA in directing from the prestigious Theatre School at De Paul University, founded as The Goodman School of Drama in 1925 in Chicago. To be safe and create art is a lie. There should be no separation from the art, the artist, the action on stage and spectator. Theatre is a dialogue of deconstruction and within it's limitlessness lies the key to a wide spectrum of illuminations.
