Bond Street Theatre

グラント

To research and identify effective theatre-based practices for addressing conflict-related trauma through an exchange of U.S. and Myanmar artistic methods. New York’s Bond Street Theatre (BST), in partnership with Yangon’s Thukhuma Khayeethe Theatre (TKT), will lead a 40-day initiative grounded in an exchange of artistic and therapeutic methods by the two companies and cross-cultural research comparing mental health issues, practices, and available resources. The site of activities is significant and timely, considering the 2021 military coup’s ongoing impact on psychological distress, social fragmentation, and erosion of trust. BST and TKT will convene their respective Artistic Directors and actor-educators to lead the activities and invite participation from U.S. and Burmese mental health practitioners. Their collaboration aims to identify the most effective theater-based practices in addressing conflict-related trauma and support efforts to integrate these practices into community life.
