Myanmar

The Bond Street ensemble continues its collaboration with the theatre group Thukhuma Khayeethe in Myanmar (Burma) and will soon premiere its dual-language production of Volpone.  We thank Theatre Communications Group for its support for the project.

 In addition, our new Youth Initiative in Myanmar addresses the challenges of the country's new freedoms and the subsequent rise of sectarian violence. The project is supported by the Open Society Foundation.

Afghanistan

BST's Voter Education & Fraud Mitigation Program is using theatre to promote voter rights and women's participation in the crucial 2014 Afghan presidential elections coming up on April 5th. The project is preparing hundreds of youth who are voting for the first time.

BST is planning a Creative Arts  Program to empower incarcerated women and juveniles through theatre-based leadership and communication workshops.

Syria

We are proposing a comprehensive program of psychosocial support for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq.  More than two million people have fled Syria since the civil war began in Syria, mostly women and children.  The program will be conducted in partnership with local arts groups and aid organizations.

Haiti

The Haiti team is planning next steps for our work with FAVILEK, and activist women's group in Haiti that promotes anti-violence through theatre in the post-earthquake displacement camps.
