We're back in NYC for AATE's 40th Anniversary for the 2027 National Conference. NYC is a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and people, where one thing we all agree on is that the arts keep us connected. In a time when we can feel siloed, we must strive towards one goal: community!
For our three-day conference, we want to celebrate 40 years of successes by bringing it back to the basics:
*Exploring and creating theatre in unconventional spaces
*Playing
*Expanding our knowledge of the business of theatre and education
We will make space to lean into rest as resistance with activities that feed the mind, body, and soul. We are excited for you to see the iconic NYC sights while also investigating diverse communities that will inspire your creative juices and new theatrical possibilities. Join us as we explore Unique Bodies, Unique Voices: Divided But Still One!
