This ex-scholar left medical school to pursue the arts
Mr Julian Low quit medical school after his third year.
A former scholar and student leader, he excelled academically, but had no interest to practise as a doctor after graduation.
Leaving medical school required him to pay back the penalty for quitting after three years of studies.
Mr Low and the Health Ministry came to an agreement: He would become a video producer for NUS Medicine for a few years, creating educational videos for the medical students.
After years of juggling creative work and grappling with burnout, he discovered tai chi and experimental theatre.
Together with theatre practitioner Ranice Tay who is now his wife, they co-founded Wushiren Theatre in 2024.
