Perfect Criminal 3.0

Engage in a crime investigation that becomes a journey of reflection on humanity and the value of life through the Process Drama.

Working alongside forensic analytical students as your investigative partners, you’ll uncover clues, analyze evidence, and explore the intertwined psychology of perpetrators, victims, and witnesses.

Ultimately, you will collaborate to design a “perfect crime,” confronting moral dilemmas about justice, empathy, and the boundaries between life and death.

[Workshop Highlights]

• Immersive Process Drama: Become part of the story and experience the emotional intensity of a live investigation.

• Creative and Critical Thinking: Strengthen your reasoning, imagination, and ethical insight through evidence analysis, role-play, and collaborative storytelling.

• Reflection on Life’s Value: Discover how even a fictional crime can reveal the beauty, fragility, and meaning of life.

This workshop is designed in collaboration with Dr. Gray Ho from the Chemistry Department for students of Forensic Analytical Chemistry (CHEM4086).
