Manon Van de Water (EDT) Diversity, Representation and Culture in TYA

Annotation

ITYARN, the International Theatre for Young Audiences Network is the official research network of ASSITEJ. Every three years, at ASSITEJ's World Congress and Festival, ITYARN organizes a conference, where researchers, as well as artists, from all over the world share their insights and perspectives. This is the third ITYARN book, compiled from two conference events, one held in 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa on "Cultural Exchange and Diversity in TYA," coinciding with the XIXth ASSITEJ World Congress and Festival Cradle of Creativity, and one held in Kristiansand Norway on "(Re)presenting Childhood," coinciding with the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering Confronting the Present. Twelve presentations were selected from these events and together they offer a rich mosaic of research areas in Theatre for Young Audiences.
