TAPS: Theatre & Performance Symposium
Bringing IB DP Theatre to life through ensemble, learning and hands-on exploration with professional theatre-makers and artists.
Our IB student events bring the syllabus to life—offering students the chance to engage directly with professional artists and facilitators, and apply what they’ve learned in school to authentic creative experiences.
In every event, students grow as artists and thinkers—gaining clarity on assessments, unlocking new skills, and leaving with a renewed sense of what they can achieve.
