About the Event

Critical discourses for performing arts in East and Southeast Asia

A curator of contemporary performance, Zhang Yuan has noticed the lack of critical writings in China and Asia that utilise theoretical or conceptual frameworks rooted in this geographical region. He endeavours to connect with thinkers, researchers, curators, dramaturgs and mid-career artists in Singapore and the region to explore new critical discourses for performing arts in East and Southeast Asia.
