Birdie Club is a collaborative, thoughtful, and pluralistic community that connects theatre and performance professionals, learners and anyone interested in this fantastic field. We focus on providing teaching, learning, and practicing opportunities for instructors, students, and trainees. We have established over 30+ taught courses in the past four years, both online and offline, ranging across theoretical studies, directing, writing and dramaturgy, acting, applied theatre, stage and lighting design, stage and production management, and interdisciplinary practices. Our flagship course, Introduction to Theatre and Performanc is an ongoing quest on the question we all care about: What is theatre and performance? In our online classroom, we create a safe space for professionals and beginners alike to explore and discuss the history and evolvement of the subject and put those dazzling and baffling contemporary works in/out of theaters into historical contexts.

Besides co-designing various courses, we also foster an active community for sharing and exchange. We organize and encourage self-organized activities by club members, such as reading club, talks and screenings, workshops, placement recommendations, and so on.

All we do is to fulfill our “super objective” – to connect the theatre and performance practitioners of today and tomorrow! If you are interested in Birdie Club, please get in touch with us by WeChat (birdieOUbirdie) or email (yuxin@birdietheatre.com)!
