HOW TO READ
Begin with a question, not a canon
These dossiers document P4 projects; they are not a general history of the field. Use the main-site Chinese experimental theater guide to locate the work in a wider context, then consult the P4 Theater profile for the organization’s own practice and vocabulary.
Understand
Use the main-site link for edited English framing and authoritative entity identity.
Verify
Use dates, calls, performance notices and after-the-event writing inside the dossier.
Traverse
Follow people, events, images and adjacent projects rather than stopping at one title.
