World Theatre Day Celebration by ITI Centres, Committees and by Theatre institutions all over the world.

World Theatre was created by the ITI and was celebrated for the first time on 27 March 1962, the date of the opening of the “Theatre of Nations” season in Paris. Ever since, each year on that date, World Theatre Day is celebrated on a global scale.

Every General Assembly brings the worldwide ITI community together.

This year, it also opens a new space for us to connect, exchange and collaborate.

Recently endorsed by the Executive Council, the new participation model for the 38th ITI General Assembly expands the experience beyond the Statutory General Assembly itself. From 15 to 17 December, a new Pre-General Assembly Exchange Programme will create opportunities for dialogue, knowledge-sharing and international collaboration, leading into the 38th Statutory General Assembly on 18 December.

Like theatre itself, this programme will be created through encounter. It will grow from the ideas, experiences and creativity shared by ITI Centres, Committees and Networks around the world. Together, we hope to create a programme that reflects not only the diversity of our community, but also the connections that bring us together.

An open Call for Contributions, to be launched in early September, will invite ITI Centres, Committees and Networks to help shape the programme by sharing inspiring projects, artistic practices, research and experiences. We also warmly welcome the wider performing arts community to follow this journey and join the conversations that will unfold in the months ahead.

This new chapter will take shape step by step. In the coming months, we will introduce the programme, share opportunities to participate and reveal the people and ideas that will help bring it to life.

We look forward to building it together.
