IDEA.2007, the 6th World Congress for Drama/Theatre and Education, will be held in summer 2007 Hong Kong. This is not only a golden opportunity in facilitating international exchange, but also helps to flourish our own local development in drama/theatre education, by encouraging more research into theory and practice, better documentation, more reflective practice and experimentation in a wider scope of works.

The theme in this 6th IDEA Congress is literally and symbolically expressed through its titles: We need to cultivate the human mind, heart and soul in everyone of us, not only be infused with professional knowledge and innovative artistry in different specialized contexts, but also woven by visionary, communicative and culturally empathetic eyes, ears and skin.

Call for presentations/proposals (paper presentations, workshops, round tables etc): deadline 1 October

Call For Performances (Overseas Groups/Individuals): IDEA2007 calls for performances to be staged in Hong Kong venues, 2-3 shows for each production. Deadline: 15 October.
