SURVEYING ASIAN THEATRE STUDIES
Abstract
Before discussing Asian theatre studies in the West, I want to give you some
background about my involvement with the Association for Asian Performance (AAP)
and Asian Theatre Journal (ATJ) as well as the projects I worked on regarding Asian
theatre in general, so as to give you some sense of where I came from and what
shaped my understanding of the history and current scholarship of the field.
