Singapore IB workshop - DP Theatre

About this event

Join us for an immersive three-day IB DP Theatre workshop designed to deepen your understanding of theatre practice, pedagogy, and IB assessment. Led by expert theatre educators, this workshop provides hands-on exploration of key elements such as staging play texts, world theatre traditions, ensemble collaboration, and theatre theory.

This event features the following specific workshop categories:

  • Category 1 & 2 (Combined) 
  • Category 3 Collaboratively Creating Original Theatre

Our workshops are dynamic, hands-on, and industry-informed, bridging creative practice with IB curriculum requirements. Led by IB-certified facilitators and working professionals, ISTA workshops provide experiential learning, real-world application, and a global network of IB educators, making them a transformative professional development experience.
