Asian Youth Theatre Festival Residency 2023 Showcase

The Asian Youth Theatre Festival was first conceived in 2016 as a vehicle of change, connecting Asia through performance, dialogue, workshops and exchange programmes.

The AYTF Movement comprises three key elements:

• Open Stage, a bi-weekly platform, to share artists skills digitally,
• Uniting Asia, an immersive arts residency programme and the
• Asian Youth Theatre Festival (AYTF).

Uniting Asia was conceptualised late 2019 and was pencilled to be held in Cambodia. Owing to the pandemic it went online and proved vital to youth artists and arts organisations – facilitating community building, cross cultural exchange and supporting the emotional well-being of artists across Asia and beyond. Uniting Asia aims to equip youth arts leaders with theatrical knowledge and skills, enabling them to impact their own societies through art-invested projects.
