Theatre Arts Conference 2025 - All Aboard! - Navigating Crosscurrents of Theatre Arts Practice and Beyond
All Aboard! - Navigating Crosscurrents of Theatre Arts Practice and Beyond
The Singapore Drama Educators Association (SDEA) proudly presents the Theatre Arts Conference 2025 (TAC 2025), to be held in Singapore from July 17-19 2025.
The conference, titled ‘All Aboard! - Navigating Crosscurrents of Theatre Arts Practice and Beyond’, invites a diverse community of artists, educators, researchers, and practitioners to embark on a journey through the dynamic intersections of drama and theatre education, community engagement, and performance.
Participants will explore critical aspects of theatre arts through a multifaceted lens, challenging traditional paradigms and fostering innovative appro1aches.
Themes such as hybridity, diaspora, and representation will be unpacked alongside efforts to dismantle the legacies of colonialism in the practice of Drama and Theatre.
The conference encourages a balanced exploration of traditional knowledge alongside the creation of new insights, promoting Southeast Asian perspectives and content.
Drawing inspiration from concepts such as ‘un-curating’, ‘de-colonizing’, and ‘un-learning’, TAC 2025 aims to ignite conversations that transcend established methodologies and embrace emerging trends. This platform encourages critical reflection, collaborative learning, and forward-thinking dialogue, aimed at shaping the future of theatre arts education and performance practices in a global context.
Join us as we navigate the crosscurrents of theatre arts practice and beyond, charting new pathways that redefine the boundaries of creativity and community impact.
