Albuquerque, New Mexico
What:
Artists from around the world will converge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to connect, exchange ideas, and find inspiration during the last weekend of the Tricklock Company Revolutions International Theatre Festival.
The Symposium will feature performances, workshops, panel discussions, and gatherings. The focus of this year’s symposium will be The Ritual of Story on Stage featuring a series of roundtable discussions around storytelling: How has the way we tell stories in theatre evolved over the last 20 years? How are we telling stories of nation, culture, and identity in today’s world of post-industrial societies? What is the impact of our stories?
We will explore traditional and non-traditional styles and ideas of process and theatre’s unique capacity to explore the unspeakable and unspoken. Along with these discussions and workshops will be the opportunity to see some of the most exciting world theatre happening today.

About Theatre Without Borders
----------
Theatre Without Borders (TWB) is an informal, volunteer, virtual community that shares information and builds connections between individuals and institutions interested in international theatre exchange.
History: TWB began its evolution in November 2003 when American theatre director Roberta Levitow returned to the U.S. from a Fulbright Senior Specialist residency at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Following attendance at the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre and theatre workshops in East Africa and Poland, she was searching for artists, theatres and organizations in the US that shared her interest in international exchange.
Mission & Vision: TWB was born out of a need to connect artists around the world. TWB advocates for theatre artists who see themselves as members of a global community, as well as citizens of their respective nations and cultures.
Seed & Grow: We plant seeds and watch the plants grow and develop, thanks to our many partners. We engage in projects where the enthusiasm, insight, knowledge, skill and commitment of TWB artists is leading to significant progress supporting international theatre exchange.
