Longhouse Goes Global China text across global map

 

The past two years of disruption have led to significant shifts in thinking about the performing arts across the Asia Pacific. Theatres have a greater focus on local artists and communities. What does this mean for Australian artists who wish to collaborate, tour and engage across borders?

Join us in this year’s first Longhouse, a free online event in which we discuss how the landscape has changed. Lynn Fu, China Market Adviser for the Australia Council for the Arts will set the scene with examples from around the region. Then meet three theatre practitioners from China who will share their experiences from the perspectives of an independent venue, a major theatre and an independent artist.

  • Join
    Hu Yin, founder of the multi-arts and cultural centre Yinzi Theater in Chongqing;
  • Juliet Zhu, Deputy Director of Performing Arts Programs, Shanghai Grand Theatre, and
  • Wang Mengfan, Beijing-based theatre director and choreographer
