Theatre cannot stop wars. But theatre can present starting points for change. In our work and in our community, curiosity and enquiry are so important – the open hand, mind and heart, being a seeker not a ‘knower’. This meeting at ricca ricca demonstrated that each starting point for change is individual and contextual. Each sense of what is vital to address and each method, different. There is no collective “right way’ of doing things – there cannot be. Our members are facing every imaginable challenge in their different contexts and when we have the chance to connect, we witness the flexibility, invention and divergent approaches that are part of each person’s method in creative process.

Sue Giles, President of ASSITEJ International

Our work spans far beyond geographical boundaries, knowing that every corner of the globe holds profound creative wisdom. From remote Indigenous communities to urban performing arts centres, from community theatres to national institutions, we know that knowledge is not hierarchical but circular. Just as our elders can teach, they equally learn from the young. It’s all about our intention.

Jon Dafydd-Kidd, Member of the ASSITEJ International Executive Committee

Working with access and inclusion in the arts is the opposite of isolating. It's about building connections and fostering curiosity about others - And we have to be in on it together, across all levels of our field.

Theis Irgens, Member of the ASSITEJ International Executive Committee
