The Human Theatre Project

[North Vancouver] Human Theatre Performing Arts Society begins a new project slated for development in 2010. The Human Theatre Project is an online knowledgebase for and about theatre practice in Canada and internationally. Starting with an open source wiki platform and adding online collaborative tools, Human Theatre hopes to create an accessible online resource for educators and practitioners at every stage of their career to collaborate and share work, resource materials and ideas globally.

The Human Theatre Project borrows its name from the Human Genome Project. While not a scientifically rigorous, the Human Theatre Project hopes to gather ‘geneological’ information about the performance practices and theories of communities world-wide to show how cultural influences and change have been propogated through live performance.
