Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: The Asian Shakespeare Intercultural Archive is a collaborative, multilingual online archive of performance materials. It is supported by several government and academic bodies, with contributions from theatre companies in East and Southeast Asia. Its aim is to provide resources for education and research in intercultural and Shakespeare performance.
A|S|I|A—aims to share approaches to performing Shakespeare in East and Southeast Asia through a collaborative , multilingual online database and archive of materials. It is intended for scholars, practitioners, teachers, students and general audiences of intercultural performance and of Shakespeare. To expand awareness of how complex, evolved, and different these performances can be, A|S|I|A provides the following integrated components:
• streaming videos of full production recordings, presented with
• original scripts and script translations in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, that allow productions to be viewed in one language or multiple languages; and
• a searchable database of information on each production in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, drawn up in a collaborative process that brings performance cultures into interaction with one another.
