In 2026, he originated the leading role of Zheng Yi, the Pirate King, in the new Chinese musical "The Pirate Queen," produced by Xu Jun Studio.

    Beyond the stage, Nan has appeared in leading roles in the films "Autumn in New York," "Snafu," "Teal Blue Echoes," and "Jazz Is for Ordinary People."

Speakers and Lectures

  • "On the Moral Imagination of 'Strengthening Jewish Identity' in Central Israel" Israel studies roundtable lunch: Oct. 5

    Join the Center for Israel Studies from noon to 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5, in the IASH Room, LN 1106, for the Israel studies roundtable lunch featuring Professor Andrew Atwell of Bard College, who will be presenting "On the Moral Imagination of 'Strengthening Jewish Identity' in Central Israel."

    In May 2021, following an outburst of internecine violence in the central Israeli city of Lod, the city鈥檚 鈥淭orah seed鈥 group became the object of regional and international scrutiny and attention. This group is part of a wider national-religious movement aiming in the wake of the Oslo Accords to 鈥渟ettle in the hearts鈥 of their fellow Israeli Jews after 鈥渟ettling in the hills鈥 of the post-1967 West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. Beginning in the late 1990s, the movement built 鈥淭orah seed鈥 groups in binational cities inside the Green Line that intervened through myriad projects, including, in the case of Lod, 鈥渟trengthening Jewish identity.鈥 Through examining this project of 鈥渟trengthening Jewish identity鈥 in relation to its critics, in this talk, Atwell explores how a perhaps surprising sense of national-religious discomfiture has shaped and constrained 鈥淭orah seed鈥 group moral imagination and effected political-theological shifts within Israel and far beyond it.

    Vegetarian lunches will be provided. Register on B-Engaged at the link below.
