A theatre collective comprising 29 graduates (over 4 cohorts) from Theatre Training & Research Programme (TTRP). TETC is based in Singapore, but spans different countries- Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan, Japan, India, Poland and Mexico.
Sharing similar artistic sensibilities and emerging from the tutelage of the late Mr Kuo Pao Kun, we have come together to continue the legacy of our mentor’s significant vision of inter-cultural theatre in the world. This is our collective effort to keep alive in practice, his artistic vision and the training methodology expressed in the unique curriculum and inter-cultural approaches of TTRP, which he co-founded with current Director T. Sasitharan.
Our company’s creative philosophy is driven by a passion to cultivate global cultural sensitivity, steeped in the multiculturalism reflecting Singapore, so as to contribute dynamically to the current world’s identity of diversity. For each production, we will aim for a stimulating creative exchange among artists and draw on one or many easily-forgotten / neglected Asian memories and the associated dogmas, beliefs, traditions and heritages - not from the "museumized" and limited ‘official’ versions – so as to truthfully comment on contemporary questions regarding living in a modern world.
