Holding both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Acting and Drama from Shanghai Theatre Academy, his pedagogical responsibilities encompass foundational performance training, scene work, full-scale theatrical productions, and specialized courses on Eastern and Western drama movements, stage technology, and social performance leadership.

His research centers on Performing Arts innovation through drama creation projects and theatrical integration methodologies. Dong Yi bridges traditional performance conventions with contemporary practices, examining how standardized techniques ('conventionalization') interact with creative expression across cultural contexts. His scholarly work directly informs curriculum development for comprehensive universities, addressing 'Three-All Education' requirements in Chinese higher education.
While his academic publications remain focused, the 2008 paper 'On the 'Conventionalization' of Drama Performance' establishes foundational analysis of theatrical conventions, reflecting his dual expertise in Chinese and Western performance traditions. This research trajectory emphasizes practical application through creative output rather than extensive journal publications.
