"The very meaning of art is [that] through the process of art, you get deeper into an understanding of life and people." 
— Kuo Pao Kun
on the launch of TTRP, 29 February 2000

In 2000, Kuo Pao Kun and T. Sasitharan co-founded the Theatre Training and Research Programme (TTRP), a ground-breaking approach to theatre training that integrates traditional and contemporary performance traditions within a diverse, intercultural environment.

Now known as the Intercultural Theatre Institute (ITI), the programme has grown and evolved, with over 100 graduates working in 40 countries today.
