Theatre Without Borders (TWB) is an informal online gathering of hundreds of artists from around the world who are interested in supporting international theatre exchange. TWB welcomes professionals, academics, amateurs and artists from around the world.

TWB encourages the exchange of international theatre projects and artists, and also supports other organizations involved with international theatre exchanges. You can search for theatre contacts in other countries who can provide local information and perhaps make introductions to local contacts.

American theatre director, Roberta Levitow, founded TWB after serving a Fulbright Senior Specialist residency at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and attending the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre and theatre workshops in East Africa and Poland.

Some of the projects of members include:

* Bond Street Theatre in Afghanistan
* Coexistence International at Brandeis University
* Eti! East Africa Speaks!
* Hip-Hop Theatre Initiative
* Immigrants’ Theatre Project
* Interdisciplinary Genocide Studies Center - Rwanda
* Middle East Working Group
* Sundance Theatre Institute in East Africa
* The Tanga Project, Bucharest, Romania
* The Translation Think Tank
* Where Elephants Weep, Cambodia

One of TWB’s specific projects is a 3-year project with Coexistence International at Brandeis University that explores and documents the relationship between theatre and peace building or conflict resolution. New training programs are being developed with a focus on combining theatre with a sense of social responsibility.

Information on joining TWB, looking up international theatre resources, and contacting members can  be found on their website.
