Abstract

International Drama / Theatre and Education Association (IDEA) is an international association encouraging and supporting drama/theatre and education. It was founded in Portugal in July 1992 through the initial Congress in Porto. IDEA has since held international congresses in Brisbane, Australia, 1995; Kisumu, Kenya, 1998; Bergen, Norway, 2001; Ottawa, Canada, 2004; Hong Kong, China, 2007; Belém, Brazil, 2010; Paris, France, 2013, Reykjavik, Iceland, 2022. Each Congress is hosted by an IDEA’s member working in collaboration with the IDEA Elected Officers. Each IDEA Congress has a unique identity reflecting a sense of place and culture of the host member.

The IDEA 10th Congress was organised by IDEA members from China IDEAC (International Drama/Theatre and Education Application and Cooperation Congress) in Beijing, China, from 16th to 20th July 2024.

Yi-man Au from Hong Kong and Jeffrey Tan from Singapore, two Asian educational drama practitioners who have met at several of the IDEA conferences, decided to jointly reflect on their recent experience in the IDEA 2024 Congress in Beijing and collaborate on this Conference Review.

The conference review offers a snapshot of the keynotes and programmes in the IDEA 2024 Congress Congress in Beijing. It also offers some recommendations for future IDEA Congress organisers to consider when putting together an international drama/theatre conference.

國際戲劇/劇場與教育聯盟世界大會(IDEA)是一個鼓勵和支持戲劇/劇場及教育的國際協會。它於1992年7月在葡萄牙波爾圖舉行的首次大會中成立。自此,IDEA 在澳洲布里斯班(1995年)、肯尼亞基蘇木(1998年)、挪威卑爾根(2001年)、加拿大渥太華(2004年)、中國香港(2007年)、巴西貝倫(2010年)、法國巴黎(2013年)以及冰島雷克雅維克(2022年)舉辦了多次國際大會。每次大會均由主辦當地的IDEA會員團體主辦,並與IDEA委員會合作。每屆IDEA大會都有其獨特的主題和關注,以反映主辦成員的地方和文化特色。

第十屆 IDEA 大會由來自中國的國際戲劇教育應用與合作大會(IDEAC)成員於2024年7月16日至20日在中國北京舉辦。

來自香港的歐怡雯和來自新加坡的陳財龍,這兩位亞洲教育戲劇實踐者曾在數次IDEA大會上相遇,決定共同反思他們在北京「IDEA 2024大會」的經驗並合作撰寫此次會議回顧。

此會議回顧提供了對「IDEA 2024 大會」中主題演講和分享項目的簡況,並對未來的IDEA 世界大會組織者在籌備國際戲劇/劇場會議時提出了一些建議。
