9 Woodlands Avenue 9, S738964
20 Original Plays written and devised by 160 youths from across Asia
15 Carefully Curated Workshops from 15 different youth collectives
The Asian Youth Theatre Festival gives youths access to challenge perspectives, be inclusive, explore identity and celebrate ASEAN youth in theatre. Providing a bridge between cultures and to place youth theatre on the map as a credible and relevant part of the artistic landscape, it also seeks to enlighten, challenge and empower young people through every aspect of theatre.
By offering a platform for participants to share their art form and connect on multiple artistic levels, it promotes Singapore as a hub for young artists to exchange and develop new ideas and strives to lead in the creation of a stronger network of Asian artists to further the development and practices of theatre within the region.
The Asian Youth Theatre Festival aims to develop a culture of compassion, empathy and understanding across the world.
There is something for everyone so come and be a part of it!
This year, we bring together youth collectives from
Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Philippines and Thailand,
to celebrate the theme Accessibility and Inclusion through theatre.
