Global Youth Sinophone Theater Creative Initiative

Global Youth Sinophone Theater Creative Initiative (hereafter “Initiative”) is Global Youth Alliance for Chinese Drama (GYACD)’s annual project that supports and celebrates the creative minds of the new generation on the Sinophone stage. This initiative invites the “younger generation” in the early stages of their academic, artistic, or professional journeys to submit 10-15 page scripts or excerpts (with an estimated performance time of 10-15 minutes) in Chinese and/or English.

 

Two academic mentors will select ten winning works across four categories and award prizes accordingly. All shortlisted works will be showcased on the GYACD website and published in a special volume.

 

Additionally, selected scripts may be produced and performed in collaboration with theatre organizations affiliated with universities and professional troupes worldwide. Theatre groups and troupes are also welcome to participate as “Fellows” in this initiative and apply for our fellowship funding through a competitive process.
