The Asia Pacific Bureau (APB) aims to build up a high- end platform for collaboration, exchange, research and theatre festivals, and through the endeavor of the past two years, APB is now becoming an internationally well-known brand for culture, theatre and educational exchange. We believe that this conference will build us a closer relationship between the member schools, create more possibilities for future collaboration and promote the diversity of theatre education in the Asia-Pacific region.
 

Our agenda including:

As India’s National School of Drama will host the second Asia-Pacific Expo of Theatre Schools next January in New Delhi, we will discuss and pin down its details.
