Mission

ISTA brings together young people, artists and teachers from different countries in different settings to experience and learn about theatre, culture and each other. This results in exciting theatre and develops innovative practice at a range of international Festivals and training events.

We value diversity and collaboration, celebration and play, friendship and collegiality.

ISTA’s vision is to be an international theatre-learning hub that develops internationally minded young people, teachers and artists through innovative theatre practice. While maintaining and building on our core international body of work, we are also embarking on a sustainable access programme.

Putting students and teachers and professionals together who are all passionate about theatre… it’s no wonder the magic happens.
