Because the world economy is so hyper-competitive, much of the focus in education these days from Singapore to Shanghai to American schools is on STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math. As important as that is, it is short-sighted. We need to add the empathetic reasoning of the arts to the mix -- STEAM. For me the most proficient way to teach the values of collaboration, flexibility, imagination and innovation -- all skill sets needed in todays world -- is through the performing arts. If you have these tools, you can do well in any field from software engineering to the biosciences. #STEAM
