AATE Networks foster the exchange, development, and implementation of ideas throughout the year, providing professional development, advocacy, and other tools within and across the field of theatre and education. All AATE Members and Conference attendees are encouraged to join! Applied Theatre is an umbrella term that is both evolving and inclusive.
The Network includes individuals who use alternative theatre and/or drama practices with a wide variety of populations. Two major commonalities are that our members often work in non-traditional settings (such as schools, community centers and museums) and that they seek to help people, often through active participation in the drama or the debates that ensue.
