Editorial

Abstract

Welcome to the new Journal of Drama and Theatre Education in Asia! This title has been a bit manoeuvred to have its short form DaTEAsia, meaning that it welcomes all friends of Asia to start reading, writing and discussing praxis and issues arising around Asia, somewhat invitingly and excitingly as in a romantic date. In this first Editorial, therefore, I agreed with Ping-kuen Cheung (PK), the other Editor of the journal, to introduce how we perceive Asian issues in our introduction of drama education, or educational theatre in general.
